Why does misery love company?

1 Answer

Answer :

Just the comfort of knowing that others are boiling in the same pot, sailing in the same boat on choppy seas. Human need to feel that you somehow “belong” and are not the odd one out! Added to all that is the fact that you have someone you can whinge, whine and whimper to, who know what you are going through. It is a form of mutual support!
