This is absolutely not surprising.
A study conducted by psychological researchers in Finland and published in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology suggests that individuals who have a commitment to wokeness have poorer mental health and overall happiness levels. I guess believing and living in a delusion isn’t all that the left makes it out to be.
The study surveyed 5,000 adult participants in Finland and found that those who are “woke” are more depressed, have more anxiety and lack happiness. As reported, “Being more anxious and depressed and less happy was more pronounced in” those who consider social justice to be a huge issue.
“I had been paying attention to a development in American universities, where a new discourse on social justice became prevalent in the 2010s,” study author Oskari Lahtinen said, hence her desire to investigate.
The study identified seven truisms of woke people:
- “If white people have on average a higher level of income than black people, it is because of racism.”
- “University reading lists should include fewer white or European authors.”
- “Microaggressions should be challenged often and actively.”
- “Trans* women who compete with women in sports are not helping women’s rights.” (reverse scored)
- “We don’t need to talk more about the color of people’s skin.”
- “A white person cannot understand how a black person feels equally well as another black person.”
- “A member of a privileged group can adopt features or cultural elements of a less privileged group.” (reverse scored)
Those that agreed with the scale had a high prevalence of anxiety and depression. As New York Post summarized, “More broadly, they found that those who identified as left-wing were most likely to report lower mental well-being.”
The study noted that these attitudes are way more common in American society but have slowly been adopted by other geographical areas and countries. Lahtinen suggested that U.S. researchers conduct a similar study to see how their results compare.

“I encourage colleagues in the United States to study the prevalence of these attitudes in the country where they originate from,” Lahtinen said.
It makes total sense that those who put their identity in worldly things, like the left does, are unhappy. They’re putting their worth in something that is artificial rather than something, or someone (Hint: GOD)!
No wonder why they’re miserable.
