Ah but this is only true if you're nostalgic for your own times.... if you experience nostalgia for an era you never experienced or are too young to actually remember then you are a total nut job!

This doesn't bode that well for us, though:
"For best results, research suggests reminiscing in your head rather than on paper. When Sonja Lyubomirsky, a psychologist at the University of California at Riverside asked participants to either write or think about their happiest life experience, she found that those who replayed their happiest moments in their heads later experienced greater well-being than the writing group."
Guys, we're not getting maximum happiness here! Everybody stop writing!!

nostalgia:
1770, "severe homesickness" (considered as a disease), Mod.L. (cf. Fr. nostalgie, 1802), coined 1668 by Johannes Hofer as a rendering of Ger. heimweh, from Gk. nostos "homecoming" + algos "pain, grief, distress." Transferred sense (the main modern one) of "wistful yearning for the past" first recorded 1920.
I have always understood "nostalgia" to be a mild form of depression in itself.
