>> That implies that not only they are not that happy but they are systemically lying for some reason. I find this scenario hard to believe. Hmm, I find it believable that people may systematically lie when asked at work whether they are happy with their personal life.

This is very different survey compared to when HR asks you the same questions. Even in workplace scenarios I wouldn't lie if my personal life were suffering from difficulties.

  So you would be fine to share at work that your gf cheated on you and left for another dude and so you are a little bit destabilized/unhappy now? (it is just a hypothetical case)

    Why not? Maybe not all details, but at some people should be aware that it's not the job or co-worker relations that makes me look like shit. Actually I know a guy who had in a bar fight after a scenario you just described. He's still fine at his job.

It is not like you are going to be fired if you are a software engineer talking a bit about your life. However, "bringing you shit" and discussing it at work is not always welcomed especially in most competitive environments. I guess that people who worked in such environments know what I am talking about. As an example, have a look at what two other users reply above.

  I believe you might be in the minority at least in the u.s. Here most blue and white color workers don't feel comfortable sharing negative events in their personal life except under certain exceptions.(especially close work friends, in an informal setting)

    Yeah, I'm in Easter Europe. I had a 1:1 and shared it with my boss that I just had a break up with my GF so that's why my focus is not that sharp lately. He appreciated it and we moved on to other topics.
