Complaining all the time? Neuroscientist explains why this is bad for the brain and how to fix it

Neuroscientist Emily McDonald explains that constant complaining negatively wires the brain, strengthening pathways that focus on problems and shrinking the prefrontal cortex, impacting focus and decision-making. This habit makes individuals less attractive and puts them in ‘victim mode.’ However, fostering positive thoughts and gratitude can reverse this, improving focus and enabling a more joyful outlook.
