Four Key Factors Fueling Human Obsession with Negativity
Going Drug-Free on the Negativity High: Why Some People Can't Help but Complain
Ever found yourself stuck with a chum who just can't stop kicking the drama? Well, guess what - they might be just as hooked as a junkie! Negativity, it seems, has got them high and they can't seem to kick the habit!
Here's why some folks just can't get enough of the bad stuff:
1. It's the devil they know
Negativity is often a lifelong companion for many, thanks to our upbringing. Years and years spent in the comfort zone of moaning, worrying and nitpicking can make it tough to transition to a more optimistic approach - even when we want to!
After all, us humans tend to cling to our old stomping grounds, and shifting from our negative yard to the positive park can be quite the challenge! Like any addiction, it takes a concerted effort to break the cycle, and old habits die hard, right?
2. Fitting in with the cool kids
Negativity, it appears, is the hippest thing going in society. You might have noticed that conversation starters usually revolve around the latest problems facing the world. Sharing about your health issues or personal troubles, for example, is more likely to gain you sympathy and attention than sharing your happy moments.
In some circles, being overly happy can even be frowned upon, with some peers branding the overly positive as naive or insensitive. So, while complaining earns us social approval and attention, being positive feels like a hard sell!
3. Avoiding taking the blame
Negativity lets us shirk the responsibility for the crappy events in our lives, thus sparing our precious ego. Negativity allows us to view ourselves as unfortunate victims, instead of in charge of our own destinies - and who needs that burden, right?
But, while avoiding responsibility might sound appealing, taking responsibility can actually be incredibly empowering. Unfortunately, many people aren't aware of the power of taking matters into their own hands, so they tend to choose negativity as a simple way out.
4. The Law of Attraction kicks in
With the Law of Attraction, you get more of what you focus on, so when you complain, you attract... well, more complaining! This reinforcement of negativity convinces many folks that they're justified in their grumpiness, as there's simply a lot more for them to feel miserable about!
So, as they face more negative events and circumstances, they turn to negativity to cope, to gain social approval and attention, and to avoid painful responsibility. The cycle repeats, and for some, this unhealthy pattern persists for a lifetime.
As you can see, people hooked on negativity are not monsters, but rather individuals ensnared in a vicious cycle of reinforced bad habits. Fortunately, not all is lost. Many people have overcome their addiction to negativity and found solace in a positive frame of mind.
By understanding the Law of Attraction and growing aware of the power of taking responsibility, many folks discover the motivation to transform their negative selves into positive heads of their households. Life becomes easier and more enjoyable, and the temporary fix of negativity starts to lose its appeal!
