We would not be wrong if we say that there is not a single day without traffic jams in recent times. It seems that the causes of the problem are broad and the solution is far away.
But it is interesting, what are the damages to our psychology from the traffic jams that make us arrive late for work every day and receive reprimands?
Oku.Az He learned the opinions of experts on the subject.
Psychologist Elmir Akbar He pointed out that traffic jams cause serious psychological suffering to all people.
“People who are especially perfectionist suffer more from traffic jams. That is why panic attacks appear later, they unconsciously think that they have lost control and experience very serious anxiety and agitation. The most common illnesses in recent times are anxiety, anxiety disorders, and panic attacks. Not for professionals, we all suffer in traffic.”
Clinical psychologist Fuad Asadov He also noted that staying in traffic for a long time has several negative effects on psychology:
“The first is the increased level of stress and nervousness. In traffic jams, people experience the anxiety of losing control because they cannot move. Anxiety about time and fear of delay are also factors that increase stress.
Secondly, aggression and anger increase in traffic jams. Being inactive generates conflicts with other people.
Additionally, when people get stuck in traffic, they feel ineffective, which negatively affects motivation and overall psychological well-being.
Finally, traffic can also cause physical exhaustion and loneliness. “Sitting for a long time in the same position reinforces the feeling of social isolation in the body.”
