be
GROUCHY!!!but…

DO YOU GET GROUCHY? DO
YOU SNAP AT PEOPLE?

HEY LISTEN, IT’S OK TO
ANSWER YES

IT IS COMPLETELY FINE. EVERYONE
GETS GROUCHY. IT’S NATURAL. IT IS PROBABLY A BIOLOGICAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL NECESSITY

SO, GO AHEAD. BE GROUCHY
IF YOU NEED TO BE.

HOWEVER

DON’T BE NAÏVE. KNOW THAT
YOUR GROUCHINESS HAS IMPLICATIONS

WHEN YOU’RE GROUCHY, YOU EMANATE
NEGATIVE ENERGY - WITH WORDS, BODY LANGUAGE, PHEROMONES, FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

IF YOU’RE LUCKY, THIS NEGATIVE
ENERGY DISSIPATES BECAUSE THOSE EXPOSED HAVE MECHANISMS TO DISPERSE IT

OTHER TIMES, THE GROUCHINESS IS
SHARED LESS DESTRUCTIVELY – LIKE A BITCH FEST ABOUT A COMMON CO-WORKER

HOWEVER, MOST OF THE TIME,
YOUR NEGATIVE ENERGY HAS VICTIMS - EMPLOYEES, COWORKERS, FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS, STRANGERS, OR EVEN SMALL ANIMALS.

SOMETIMES YOUR GROUCHINESS ACTUALLY HURTS
THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU

OTHER TIMES IT INFECTS THEM
WITH THEIR OWN GROUCHINESS

IT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU.
SO YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT

SO HERE’S MY
ADVICE

WHEN YOU ARE GROUCHY, BE
GROUCHY. I’M NOT TELLING YOU TO, “STOP BEING GROUCHY.” THAT’S NOT POSSIBLE.

HOWEVER

ACCEPT THAT YOU HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES

FIRST, YOU HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY
TO RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ARE GROUCHY

ONCE YOU RECOGNIZE THAT YOU’RE
IN A FOUL MOOD, YOU HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM OTHERS, OR AT LEAST DISSIPATE THE GROUCHY ENERGY ON SOMETHING INANIMATE

FINALLY, WHEN YOU CAN’T PROTECT
OTHERS, YOU HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO APOLOGISE ONCE YOU REGAIN COMPOSURE

APOLOGISE WHETHER OR NOT THEY
WERE HURT, BECAUSE PEOPLE MAY NOT TELL YOU & BECAUSE BEING GROUCHY IS BAD MANNERS

BETTER YET, IF YOU ARE
GROUCHY AND YOU KNOW IT, ACKNOWLEDGE IT. “I’M JUST SO GROUCHY TODAY! SORRY IN ADVANCE”. THAT, IN ITSELF, MAY HELP.

SO…

BE
GROUCHY,
BUT…
