Do you get annoyed by people who complain all the time?

It bothers me a lot. I'm a true optimist and rarely will see the glass half empty. I get annoyed with those who always have something to complain about and to be honest will remove myself from being around them as much as possible!

Absolutely!! These people are not only annoying but can be a danger to your health. They are energy vampires who feed off of YOUR good humor and energy, by their constant complaining which can leave you very tired and upset by the time they have departed. Most of these people are also excuse makers. They have an excuse for why they cannot follow any advice you may be kind enough to offer them. Nothing is going to work for these people except the incessant complaining. They should be paying a counselor to listen to all of this but instead they have their friends to do it for free.

I usually try to ignore such people, but as you say they can be very annoying. Some people seem to think that evrything should permanently go their way and feel that anything other than that is totally wrong. The British are especially good at complaining about the work they have to do and the pay that they receive for it. I am constantly amazed at the attitudes of my own countryfolk.

Yeah, those people can be annoying. I haven't been around those people for awhile.

Actually, it does bother me. At first, I would start pointing out the bright side to try to teach that person there is something to be grateful for. I have a lot of patience, so me trying to teach the person this would go on for a while. But even I have a breaking point. At some point, I would have to ask the person if they have anything nice to say at all. If you know me, that is me getting upset. After that, I start to just ignore the person...not truly ignore but not truly hear the person. So, today...blah, blah, blah, blah...There! The person just became the Peanuts Teacher!

Yes, I really do. I am kind of person who is much content with what what I have got.. and does not complaint for anything much as I have hard earned most of the things and I have a capability adjust to the situations and thigns very much. so for me the complaining people are too irritating for me.

I actually feel sorry for them, imagine what kind of life they are having if all they have to do is complain. They must have a sad life. I try to stay upbeat and positive about life. I see the glass half full instead of half empty. The complainers see the glass half empty.

For me, this is one of the most annoying and unnecessary things about being human. I usually just try to avoid people who are constantly negative, but if I can't avoid them, I try to chnage the subject or turn the conversation around to something positive. I even sometimes ask people what they do like about a certain situation because sometimes they don't realize that all they do is talk about the negative aspects of something.

i hate it when they complained and do nothing about it...especially when a co-worker complained endlessly about the job, it took him 2 years before he leave the job. it's very easy for me, dont complain...Find a New Job!!!! first, i will advise them to find a new job or try to say some positive words but if after 3-4 times, they are still like that, i will ignore them totally.

I know also some people who are complaining all the time. Whatever happens, they always found something to complain about, and they unerringly find out the negative in everything they see. My opinion is, the best we can do is just to ignore them. It's impossible to change their attitudes, because I noticed, they have fun doing it. How someone is able to enjoy complaining? It's a mystery...

I always ask, "what I can do fro you?". Itry to stay aways from complainers because they just "like to complain" and DRAIN my energy..

When I am terribly stressed I tend to complain a lot but I am trying not to. Things could be a lot worse. Having a health issue can be a wake up call too.

Yeah, it can get annoying when I am trying to keep a positive outlook on something and others around me seem to only be interested in the negative aspects.

yes of course i get annoyed by people who complain all the time because it shows that are not at all adjustable! it sounds like nagging which bores me! no one can keep patient for long with such a creature around....its so disturbing.

in today's world everyone has complains for something or the other.i can share my complain with may be one or two very close friends but if i start complaining to everyone no one would like to talk to me.and this applies to me too.i am not here to listen to everyone's complain.it definately annoys me

U cant do anything to stop these people from keeping on complaining again and again. These people are better to be left alone with their annoying attitude and behaviour.

Yes, I do get annoyed by people who whine all the time. Depending on how much contact I have with the person, I either excuse myself, or complain about their complaining!

i do get annoyed sometimes. when some people who doen't have anything better to start a discussion with start complaining about this or that.

well! i guess im lucky. i'm not surrounded with people complaining oall the time. however when i got accross somebody like that i respond to them ironically. i dont take it personaly. i guess that's why they stop complaing to me. however if someone has real problem i listen and try to make a good advice.

Ya.I hate such people.atleast if they are capable of doing the thing which they complain about perfectly,i don't bother much.But i've seen some empty vessels which make more noice than the stuff it has.Stupids..!!
