Constant whining is basically a national sport in Germany. Yes, there are way too many poor and homeless people here too, but the ones crying the loudest are mostly middle class people who are financially secure. Its either that their neighbour has a bigger car or they blame society that no one likes them.

This is such a big factor. Good luck forcing a Finn to complain about literally anything.

Why is the top comment some stereotype trying to explain away the results?

I’m surprised at France being so close to EU average. Being constantly dissatisfied is basically our point of national pride

It feels like many countries claim that as a national sport. In Austria β€œsudern” (i.e. complaining but not actually doing anything about it) is considered a time-honored tradition, and yet according to this we are among the most satisfied.

Do you complain about getting shafted in the kangaroo department?

There’s actually a bunch of kangaroos just 5 minutes by foot from where I am right now … so no, we’re okay in that department.

I guess the French are happy that Macron has given them enough things to be dissatisfied about.

ITT: people from different countries claiming that their country specifically loves complaining.

You’d say it’s not a zero sum game but life satisfaction levels in Poland are through the roof because we see that they’re so low in Germany.
