Summary/Abstract: This study is an analysis on representative empirical data from two field surveys in Bulgaria (2006 and 2009) within the methodological framework of the European Social Survey (ESS) programme in comparison with other EU countries. Data and analysis show clear the reasons of Bulgarians to feel themselves “at the bottom” in a lot of criteria in respect of their self-estimations of well-being and quality of life, of satisfaction of life and the work of main national institutions. One of the basic reasons is the fact that for its people Bulgaria is “a low-trusted society” – in social and political meaning. There are a lot of conclusions on empirical data confirming the analysis.
