It means that if I'm not happy then no one will be happy. I know someone like this.... She is so unhappy with her own life that it pours off of her to whom ever is near.
Although Everyone Has Their Own Views, What Does "Misery Needs Company" Mean To You?
People feel more comfortable with people in the same situations and moods. And it's easier to get out when there is someone there fighting with you.
Humans are social beings and take great comfort when they are not exposed to danger all by themselves...they rightly or wrongly feel security is provided in proportion to the number of others that are in their immediate area. More eyes and more ears as well as more experience provides a lessening of anxiety.
With that said, no one wants to be the very lonely, single, all by themselves object of focussed attention or exposed to
danger. They do not want to face extreme danger or death all by their lonely. They must wish to die with company and not alone!
