Do you have friends that do nothing else but complain about their life? Their roof leaks, their children are not capable of learning math, and seemingly all co-workers are inadequate people. And you know what? Chronic complainers are really not imaginarily unhappy. Psychologists call such a phenomenon (“what you think you become”) a self-fulfilling prophecy. Basically, when people are really unhappy about something, constantly complaining about the root of such unhappiness will eventually make them miserable. Conversely, those that are religiously talking about positive things bring positivity in their everyday lives.
I know that such an approach might seem like pseudo-science (and I actually agree that the concept discussed above is quite abstract and controversial), but I think it might help at least some chronic complainers to become a bit more positive. Everybody deserves to be happy, but it seems like not all of us understand that we create barriers to happiness by ourselves.
