What causes grumpiness
Grumpiness can be caused by many factors, among which:
- An unfulfilled psychological need: one way to avoid this is by clearly expressing your needs and, eventually, taking some actions in order to accomplish them.
- An unrealistic high expectation: make sure you check your expectations on a regular basis, so you can always have realistic and achievable ones.
- The lack of self-compassion: if you have a negative attitude towards yourself, you are most likely going to feel at least grumpy.
