What's the Psychology Behind Nagging?

I think it is a "habit of disrespect for another person" [opinion, behavior, or boundaries].

Recognizing "why" you nag is important. It's a good quality to want to better yourself. I respect you for noticing your tendency to nag.

I used to nag, too. I think I learned it from my abusive childhood. I quit nagging because I realized it didn't help the situation at all. My desire wasn't to control people and have them miserable. My desire is for a real "intimate" relationship with my friends, family, and significant others. Nagging had to be eliminated for intimacy.

Are you trying to control the person or get something done? You should not try to control someone. Let them be who they are. You want to be you. Change can only happen in yourself. If you want something done, do it yourself and quit complaining.

Are you being passive/aggressive? Basically, are you saying the person is incompetent? There is no excuse for being insensitive to someone you love. Apologize and quit nagging.

I think you'll have no problem at quiting the nagging. Very good observation!!! (((((hugg))))))
