Because they are dissatisfied. Human beings generally complain -- or make their dissatisfaction known in a verbal manner -- when they feel dissatisfied with:

  • life in general
  • a job or employer
  • the amount of money they earn
  • the state of their relationships or home life

Humans also voice dissatisfaction when they feel they:

  • are being treated unjustly or unfairly
  • are burdened with more work than another person (including a live-in partner or spouse)
  • feel stressed or are experiencing pressures
  • lack the money or ability to change their situations in a meaningful way.

Other people complain about their circumstances, despite the fact that they have enough money, adequate housing and transportation, good family support, a thorough education with a good salary at a great job, and seem to have "every advantage" in life. Psychologists say that people with these circumstances may have feelings of "entitlement" that makes them believe they are "owed" more in life. Nothing feels meaningful or satisfactory, no matter how much advantage they have. In some cases, underlying depression can be behind this thinking. Or, sometimes, people who feel entitled lack empathy-- they cannot put themselves in other people's shoes and thus, feel grateful for what they do have.

Do people complain too much?

Some people do, often because it is their nature. Complaints are a valid way to release the stress associated with bothersome situations, or unfair treatment. When complaints are over trivial or uncorrectable situations, they can aggravate others who come in contact with the complainer. A side effect of complaining too much is that when complaints are actually valid and correctable, others are less likely to help correct them.


Why do women complain so much?

Before I answer, you should remove the notion that we "complain so much". Even though people in general have their own ways of dealing with their concerns, there are some noticeable differences in the ways males and females handle their problems. Males tend to look inward and hide what they feel may be a minor problem, while women see an underlying problem that must not be let go until it is resolved. While some people think that one method of handling emotions is better than the other, if you think about it, both are effective and make sense; they are both good ways of handling things. For males, letting things go allows for the person to be positive and to move on. They don't let little things bother them, but they may overlook something that may be more serious than it lets on. For females, we have a desire to immediately solve anything to prevent it from happening again. We're usually able to see the underlying message in things, but because we have trouble letting go of problems, it is harder for us to move on, so we stay unhappier longer; we don't like being angry, but we feel that if the person we had trouble with thought everything was okay, the same mistake would repeat itself, which is why we try to make it a point when something is wrong. Again, though, all people are different, and will have different ways of handling their emotions. If you're living with multiple people- some of them the opposite sex- try to come to a compromise when problems arise. Try to be open-minded and understanding, at least to a certain extent, while coming to a compromise.


Some examples of bias?

Confirmation bias: Focusing on information that confirms pre-existing beliefs while ignoring contradictory evidence. Availability bias: Giving more weight to information that is more easily recalled, rather than considering the full range of evidence.
