Why do we get goosebumps when we feel happy?!
Question: I thought we have goosebumps when were feeling scared and/or cold.
But we also seem to get them when we feel good and happy (seeing something quite awe-inspiring). Why is that?

okay... hmm iam answering to an alien (your avatar)
make sure you will not conquer earth... haha..
joking...
the sensation might be caused by the rush of serotonin hormone throughout your body, the serotonin can affect the emotion mood and sex, and physically cause the muscle of the body hair under the skin to contract and cause goose bumps.. well correct me if iam wrong
quoted from the wikipedia,
Goose bumps, also called goose pimples, goose flesh, chill bumps, chicken skin, or the medical term cutis anserina, are the bumps on a person's skin at the base of body hairs which involuntarily develop when a person is cold or experiences strong emotions such as fear or awe, or captures the essence of a unique experience. The reflex of producing goose bumps is known as horripilation, piloerection, or the pilomotor reflex. It occurs not only in humans but also in many other mammals; a prominent example are porcupines which raise their quills when threatened.
as in the happy mood, it was affected because some hormone as mentioned cause the tiny muscle to contract
just a reaction from ur body
