One thing that always baffles me about people who are completely negative about the club and seem gutted when there isn't a negative thing to talk about is why they ****ing bother with the club!
If it made me that angry and bitter all the time I wouldn't ****ing bother. Whole point of being a supporter of any club is the hope and enjoying the good performances and results!
The club knows we need a striker they aren't going to use the results as an excuse not to be bother! Also the most positive, red n white specs wearing, glass half full supporters haven't suddenly said we don't need a striker cause we win yesterday with a striker scoring two. All I've seen is people chuffed for the lad who have said maybe we don't need a loan now give him the minutes but still need a permanent striker in with a bit more experience.
I thought some people on here were bad but them tweets were different level!
The psychology is quite clear for me.
If you take the mindset that everything is awful, it means when its going well you're more pleased. And it means when things are going badly, at least you can say you were right. Thats how it starts.
But the human brain and society at whole really yearns to be
right. People look for confirmation that their opinion is the right one. That's been exacerbated by social media, as you're typically surrounded by people who agree with you.
The problem is its really hard to prove you're right. In fact its often impossible, because there's no "right". But the human brain can't cope with this. It needs to be right. So what's the only way it has to make you feel like you're
right? By making the other person who disagrees with you "wrong".
That's why they belittle others for having another opinion. They want that person to be wrong. And they want
other people to tell them that that person is wrong. Because that makes them feel right. And its also why they double down when something happens that makes them feel wrong. Like us winning 4-0. They are likely happy we won but absolutely psychologically frustrated that the people they said were wrong, might be right.
So its a mental cycle. You think negatively as you don't ever want to be hurt. And then you treat everyone who disagrees with you as being wrong.
It's the same social cycle that has led to Brexit, anti-vaxx, the recent riots etc. People get into this mindset that everyone else is wrong, apart from those who agree with me.
