Examples for Coping Mechanisms

Cynicism

Coping and Empathy are inversely connected

Coping is useful/functional in situations of distress and crisis, however, the persistence and continuation of coping beyond the distressing event will cause issues.

Coping mechanisms who were once useful become dysfunctional after the end of the distressing event.

Quotes

“It is the curse of humanity that it learns to tolerate even the most horrible situations by habituation.” — Rudolf Virchow From the original German, Es ist ein Fluch des Menschengeschlechtes, dass es durch Gewöhnung auch das Schrecklichste ertragen lernt, in 'Mittheilungen über die in Oberschlesien herrschende Typhus-Epidemie', R. Virchow and B. Reinhardt, Archiv für pathologische Anatomie und Physiologie und für klinische Medicin (1848), 2, No. 2, 156. As translated in Rudolf Virchow and L.J. Rather (ed.), 'Report on the Typhus Epidemic in Upper Silesia', Collected Essays in Public Health and Epidemiology, (1985), 213, as reprinted in Social Medicine (2006), 1, No. 1, 16.

Red: “These walls are funny. At first you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passes and you start depending on them.” (The Shawshank Redemption, 1994)
