Stop Whinging! Its bad for your health

Clark Kents avatarA psychological study has found that girls that complain about their problems are at higher risk of developing depression.

Finally, a psychologist has done some research that is groundbreaking for every man out there.

"When girls co-ruminate, they're spending such a high percentage of their time dwelling on problems and concerns that it probably makes them feel sad and more hopeless about the problems because those problems are in the forefront of their minds. Those are symptoms of depression," Rose said.

"In terms of anxiety, co-ruminating likely makes them feel more worried about the problems, including about their consequences. Co-rumination also may lead to depression and anxiety because it takes so much time - time that could be used to engage in other, more positive activities that could help distract youth from their problems. This is especially true for problems that girls can't control, such as whether a particular boy likes them, or whether they get invited to a party that all of the popular kids are attending."

So when your girl is bitching about something on the phone with one of her friends, hang up the phone and tell her its for her own good.

Guys, i'll accept thanks in beers. Girls, don't even think about complaining about this report, it will only make things worse.

excessive complaining only

Maybe you should read the part of the artice that mentions that talking about problems with friends is healthy, its only when the talking gets to an extreme level that this condition can develop.

All in the report waiting to be read.

Bad for your health

If you hung up my phone it would be bad for your health.

I think they mean that only people that go on and on about stuff for ages are at risk.
