Sometimes, after a hard day at work, it can be difficult to get back to your cheerful self. In moments like this, few things feel fun and it might even look like most people have their dream jobs while you’re stuck in a rut in a place you don’t feel that fond of.
But scrolling on theinternet—or even talking to people in your circles—might prove you wrong; chances are, many people you know are in the same boat, when it comes to feelings about work. And having this shared experience can be somewhat comforting.
Talking about being able to relate to other people or watch them face similar problems, Professor of Leadership and Organizational Psychology at Claremont McKenna College, Dr. Ronald Riggio, noted that comparing ourselves to others is part of human nature. “People use social comparison—comparing ourselves to similar others—to understand all aspects of their lives, and that is also the case at work. When we encounter problems, we want to know if others have experienced the same thing. We also look at how others solved problems, or tried to solve them. It’s simply a part of human nature.”
Prof. Riggio continued to point out that when things get tough, being able to relate to or lean on others play an important role in regards to people’s well-being. “Social support is critical for high quality social relationships of all kinds, and also at work. When we are stressed, we look to others for social support,” he noted.The expert also added that we tend to turn to others when things go great, too. “We also want to share accomplishments and good things with others. In the same way that a movie is funnier if we watch it in the presence of others, celebrating success with others increases our happiness.”
