Being Moody is Good

Being moody is totally normal and now it looks like it is actually good for us! A new study has found that those who swing on the pendulum of emotional intensity may be showing signs of a natural ability to adapt to change.

The study comes from University College London.

"The ubiquity of moods and the extent of their impact on our lives tells us that, throughout the course of evolution, our moodiness must have conferred a significant competitive advantage," said lead expert Dr Eran Eldar.

The study also found that being moody all the time can lead to depression, but Dr Eldar added that “being moody at times may be a small price to pay for the ability to adapt quickly when facing momentous environmental changes.”
