You tell your sorrows to a friend, who quickly turns the conversation to his own affairs. Sound familiar? It’s about counter-complaining, which has an explanation related to the functioning of the brain.
Morning it has been difficult because there has been an argument with my partner.
A friend benevolently offers to listen to the grief – but immediately begins to tell about his own relationship disputes.
The phenomenon can be described in everyday terms to counter-appeal. It’s about one talking about the difficulties of their own life and the other responding to what they heard by complaining about their own troubles before the situation of the first voice has even had time to be dealt with.
