Is mental health a shared experience?

If you're around happy people eventually you'll be happier?

If you're around sad depressed people you'll feel low and depressed?

Not for me. I hate being around happy people when I feel miserable. It makes me feel even worse. Especially if it's someone I don't like. Perhaps there could be an exception if it was someone really kind who I like and I'd genuinely feel they deserve their happiness, luck and success but otherwise no. I just want to be alone and far away from them then.

I guess it depends a lot on who it is and what kind of relationship/experience I have with them.
