Scrubbing is the action of rubbing or scrubbing.
Rub is a verb that refers to rubbing, rubbing or rubbing something insistently against something else. For example: “To wash your hands properly, doctors recommend scrubbing your hands with soap under water for at least a minute,” “When I took off my shirt, I was going to rub it in the coach's face,” but then I stopped myself” , “My back hurts from bending over so much to scrub the floor” .
The notion of scrubbing can be used physically or symbolically. When the word refers to physical action, it can be linked to friction or rubbing something . To remove a stain from a shirt, a person can scrub the garment with soap or detergent. On the other hand, a person who suffers a bite can rub the area where the itch is located with the intention of relieving it, although this practice may be harmful or cause injury.
Scrubbing in a symbolic sense
In a symbolic sense, rubbing is usually associated with blaming or pointing something out to another person with the intention of making fun of or bothering them. A footballer fired from one team and hired by another can then rub his new achievements against the previous team. This action can be developed in different ways: with public statements against the previous coach, shouting a goal in front of the managers, etc.
These types of attitudes do not please those who must endure them, since it is an act that is intended to make others know that they are in an inferior situation , whether on an economic, professional or intellectual level, among many other cases. In general, people who rub their belongings and achievements on those around them feel a deep insecurity in themselves, and that is why they need everyone to see some positive aspect that represents them.
To feel the need to rub their successes in the faces of others, an individual must go through a series of experiences that mark them negatively, an affective and emotional lack during their most precious years that leads them to think that they are not worth what they are worth. enough, that you cannot make another proud or get his love . Unfortunately, this procedure only reaps hatred and envy , just the opposite of what the person is looking for, and exactly what they believed others felt for them from the beginning.
In a symbolic sense, scrubbing something consists of reiterating it over and over again so that another person remembers it.
A reiteration
Rubbing a subject to another subject, on the other hand, consists of reiterating certain issues to him so that he keeps them in mind. A co-worker may rub another person who saved him or her to the boss on several occasions: this way, he or she will feel empowered to ask for a favor.
Depending on the type of relationship and the moment in which this constant "reminder" takes place, the other person may be offended at various levels, ranging from simple anger to a serious and definitive fight. When we do someone a favor , the ideal is that we do not expect anything in return beyond the satisfaction of the other. It is healthier for both parties if gestures of generosity are made spontaneously and sincerely , as a result of understanding the needs of others and the deep desire to share our opportunities and resources.
When a person gives a hand to another and then rubs the favor in periodically, he is doing nothing more than expressing his discontent for having made the effort, or his frustration at not having received a reward . Since no one is obligated to help others, good advice is to only do it if we really want to do it altruistically, and not as a transaction that then expects payment.
