Could it be the dopamine rushing through our heads.

This feeling is actually very hard to define or describe, some call it a "rush", others say it is a "high", many terms it as a sense of "satisfaction" - all are true, but I say it is the strange sense of being just "there" at the right time, in the right place and with the truly right and wanted company. It is a great jolt that leaves our brains totally overwhelmed with joy - which itself cannot exactly define. Yeah!

Is this a trick question?
Are we looking for endorfins.
Is that the chemical response? I don't know much , however I did take a little psyc. When in collage. I didnt get that great of a grade but one thing stay'ed with me. I teach my young son's all the time.
For every high exspect a low. You can't get all built up with continued happiness without some kind of crash. Nothing is perfect. Alway's exspect some kind of opisite.
I probably shouldnt have tried to answer you Q; Hope it helped anyway

It's a feeling that's common to lots of different experiences. When we taste chocolate. When we help a tourist find the art museum. When we see our granddaughter smile for the first time. When we solve a crossword puzzle. These are all very different experiences. But they have something in common. I think that thing they have in common is that feeling we call happiness.

happiness is a state of mind and is in itself a feeling. it is the end result of happening of some event.
Yes, as a result of happiness, we tend to do that very thing repeatedly or repeat it at least once more, that made us happy.
So, be happy. it is indeed infectious. infect all the people of this world with this bug, if indeed you are infested with it.

Personally, I feel that I get a great sense of satisfaction and sometimes you feel extremely good so you are in a good mood

The same as drinking a Coca-Cola
