1. be
GROUCHY!!!but…

2. DO YOU GET GROUCHY? DO YOU
SNAP AT PEOPLE?

3. HEY LISTEN, IT’S OK TO
ANSWER YES

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

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

6. HOWEVER

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

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

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

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

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

12. SOMETIMES YOUR GROUCHINESS ACTUALLY
HURTS THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU

13. OTHER TIMES IT INFECTS THEM WITH THEIR
OWN GROUCHINESS

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

15. SO HERE’S MY
ADVICE

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

17. HOWEVER

18. ACCEPT THAT YOU HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES

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

20. 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

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

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

23. 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.

24. SO…

25. BE
GROUCHY,
BUT…
