So this is why I keep coming back to this page...its a scientific fact that nostalgia makes you FEEL GOOD! Keep it coming! Psychologists have done research proving that while it might be kicked off by feelings of sadness or loneliness, nostalgia—which most people experience at least once a week, and often three or four times—ultimately helps people feel much better. Nostalgia can “counteract loneliness, boredom and anxiety,” as well as make us more tolerant and generous. In one study, playing hit songs from the past and giving people the lyrics actually made individuals feel “loved” and that “life is worth living.” Other research indicates that nostalgia is universal, experienced across all cultures, and actually increases self-esteem and ‘social connectedness,’ which relates to feelings of being loved and protected.
