Why do we complain so much?
April 18th, 2010
Sometimes a casual meeting between the family friend, at a tea or coffee can quickly turn into a session and crying tanguiri. Someone complains about the relationship with mother, another brother of the child behavior problem, another severe attitude of the head. Thus, a small complaint can quickly lead to an avalanche of complaints expressed by all people.
It is good to know that tanguielile and complaints are an important part of day to most people.Sometimes these reproaches can be a way to break the ice, people begin a conversation with a negative remark because I know that such a response will be greater than if they start a conversation with a positive assertion. This is just one method by which you complain is very handy.
There are two main categories of complaints: instrumental and expressive.
Complaints are directed to an instrumental end, this means that the problem is verbalize hoping a change will occur. For example, husband wife complains that the room is big mess in the hope that it will offer its help in cleaning, or guest of a hotel receptionist tells the machine to trash up at 5.00 am hoping that it will give a better camera.
Complaints expressive a different mission: allowing the speaker to disburden. When a parent call a friend to everyone who complains that his three children had chickenpox at the same time, no call to get medical advice, but seek understanding and sympathy friend. Any complaint, how small can be beneficial, making the person feel better. But there is a reverse: some people abuse these complaints expressive mourning is without having a real interest in dialogue or resolving human connections.
The researchers note that this inclination of people to complain so much need comes from the ancestors of shouting warnings when something threatened the tribe. It is true that people today are no longer threatened by wild animals every day, but ventilation daily worries and anger toward a careful listener makes us feel appreciated and supported.
Complaints may be even more than to link with people who are in the same situation. Tanguirile can be like, what psychologists call Whaaat impression management, or how others perceive us. For example, when a colleague is complaining about how busy it is and how many projects have done, that person and a subset of the complaints involve expressive. May try to convince the audience that is important and valued in the workplace.
People with healthy self-esteem are more likely than others to record complaints tool, said psychologists. This happens probably because they have confidence that these complaints are legitimate and I think they can bring changes. For some people talk about things that bother is about to say!
Psychologists believe that women sociatatea offers some stereotypes that are sensitive, talkative, and easily offended and easily engage with complains expressive type. On the other hand, some groups that are traditionally composed of men, such as military, encourages men to refrain from expressing complaints, there is even an ethics: never explain and never complain.
There are psychologists who believe that this work of mourning is indifferent according to gender. But is it true that women are more likely to be disturbed by small things. There are also differences according to gender-related complaints to end, so that men tend to have more complaints instrumental and expressive female complaints. Also, consider that women tend to complain in a ritualistic manner, as a way to form connections with other women, while men usually do not do so.
Today’s society require the person to smile and say everything is fine when this is not true. It exaggerated the positive expression of the parties can only encourage people to mask their negative emotions and superficializeze – but this can be toxic. It is important that people learn to express negative emotions from friends and family and not to hide because they get to face the pain alone. It is considered that complaints can be healing.
Some psychologists say that complaints are a constructive life skills essential. For example, if the problem has a solution, the person was excluded from group meetings with other friends can try to talk about this with one of the persons involved and may try to find a solution. Complaints expressive, well – in general – be it friends, and are based on liberation, catharsis, to overcome some difficult moments.
Tanguitorii overdo generally complain all the people you meet and do not understand the messages of others that are tired of negativity. Tanguitorii irritate chronic fatigue and a nurse, in addition to such people like to talk, but rarely like to listen and not accept the advice offered to them. Tanguitorii exaggerate are annoying or even worse, depressing. They spread negativity.But people have reasons to complain sometimes, can do so. Behind them there tanguirilor basic human needs: the need for human connection.
