HOW TO MAKE ENEMIES AND ALIENATE PEOPLE, LESSON 1

Once again science confirms what we already know. A study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology makes it official: constantly nagging someone to do what you want doesn’t work, as the person you are harassing will automatically rebel in order to assert their autonomy.
