Stinginess, or greed, to one degree or another, is present in any person. Someone feel sorry for spending their money or things, while others feel sorry for their time and emotions. You can also be greedy by nature, but most often this is a psychological aspect, which is influenced by numerous factors.
Instructions
Step 1
Childhood injuries are one of the most common causes. Even in a successful and wealthy family, where good parents, parenting mistakes or unusual situations can harm the child. What can be said about families where there is a constant unstable situation and there is not enough money. Often, parents themselves create a program for the child for the future to be greedy. If a child has lost the attention of one of the parents, it does not matter if it is a divorce or simply unwillingness to pay much attention to the child, the second one tries to compensate for this, not understanding what is harmful. Excessive gifts and on-demand requests can be dangerous, in much the same way as extreme poverty. There is only one way out - look for balance and pay just as much attention as the child needs, taking into account his temperament and life situation.
Step 2
An important role in the development of greed is played by heredity and behavior patterns formed in the family and close environment. Here, greed in various forms can manifest itself at any age, sometimes quite unexpectedly. When a person finds himself in a situation that was in his environment, he cannot always soberly assess it, repeating the negative behavior inherent in parents or loved ones. The child could see that the parents constantly do not have money for vacation abroad and they leave with a tent to the nearest river. In the future, he can repeat this pattern of behavior, contrary to his true desires and capabilities. A person may have money and the opportunity to go abroad to rest and he may hate camping, but he will still stubbornly save money, and either a high-quality introspection or a specialist can help break this circle.
Step 3
Greed can overtake a person in adulthood. Here is the notorious crisis in the country, and unemployment, and the people around us. Often, our environment begins to demand from us prohibitively large expenses. Caring parents teach their daughter to be grateful to them and give them expensive gifts for the New Year and birthdays, the daughter herself becomes a mother, the financial situation becomes tense, but a sense of duty and guilt towards parents does not allow saying no and just giving them a postcard. Savings begin in other areas. Or a young guy may meet an overly demanding girl who will demand bouquets of roses for every date, and gold for the holidays. After communicating with such people, even after becoming successful and rich, greed begins to manifest itself.
Step 4
There can be a huge variety of reasons for the emergence of greed, these are low self-esteem, and egoism, and difficult life situations and a simple innate tendency. Greed is not a vice. But everything needs a sense of proportion. It's okay to just be frugal and not wasteful, but if you have enough money for good clothes, and you wear rags and still don't save up for something big, or you eat the cheapest food when you can eat normally. It is worth stopping and thinking. And if introspection does not help, you need to go to a specialist.
