New Ways of Psychological Defense: Self-mockery

When people’s need cannot be met, they will have negative emotions. In order to eliminate or reduce depression, people will vilify things they cannot get to comfort them and seek psychological balance to prevent the deviation of thought and action.

Just like in the fable, a fox thought many ways and did everything possible to get grapes on the high wall, but it failed to do so ultimately. So it turned to comfort myself while walking: "the grapes must be sour!" It looks a bit ridiculous, but it is actually an effective way of psychological defense. It can help loose the established pursuit of unattainable goals, balance and ease their own disappointment and resentment and train myself to be more mature and stronger.

Unpleasant things in real life are the objective existence that cannot be changed. It is better to relax the nerve and do self-mockery rather than be stubborn. For example, if you are fired by your company, you do not have to be worried. You can regard this as a correct moment to redesign yourself and find the best location to express your advantages.

Self-mockery, a way of people's psychological defense, is the art of living, a kind of self-comfort and self-help, but also a positive and optimistic attitude to frustration and adversity in life. Self-mockery is not submissive but goes with the flow. People could abandon unattainable goals and re-design their own to pursue new goals. To do self-mockery, it is important to have a sense of balance. Do not be tired for the fame, disturbed by the secular things. This is not very easy to achieve. Only by establishing a correct outlook on life, values, fame and status could people be optimistic and relaxed.

Therefore, we can find that self-mockery is also a good way to adjust our mood. If you come across some problems, you can try this way. It is not to avoid problems, but to think problems from another perspective.
