Complaining Complainers' Complaints

Singapore

I wish I could delete my previous discussion topic or edit it, but since there's no option to do that, I'm here starting a new one, aka, modification of the old one. Some people are just so full of complaints, they are negative and found fault with everything. All things that happened to them are causes for complaining or they find everything and everyone offensive to them. Can't they find anything good in their life? Are their problems solved by complaining? Have you met people like that?

..Hi bluemp, I have met a few, but you know what I do. Stay out of their way, because the more you hang around them, you will find that their negativity will rub off on you and you will start to sound like them. So the smart thing to do is to wave and keed moving, because these type of people enjoy the state that they put themselves in. It's a kick for them. Take care, hope you are doing okay.

What you said is true, they enjoy putting themselves in that kind of state. Make themselves out to be long-sufferers to get more sympathy from people around them.

I do know people like that and it is my thought that they enjoy being like that. Compaining actually makes them happy. They are likely actually happier then you think it is just hard to see it because they are always complaining. Complaining makes them feel good, it makes them feel like they are active in the world around them. Granted it is no fun to hang out with someone who is constantly complaining. Just continue to see the bright side of things your self and possibly bring those up to negtive friends and maybe some of your positive energy will rub off on to them.

I never thought that these complainers could be happy, I thought being unhappy makes them do that and I actually feel sorry for them that they are having such a hard life, not only for the things they rant about but also because they can't get it out of their minds. I always hope to give them positive thoughts, but it's a real uphill task.

hi bluemoonpavilion oh yes I have a friend here who complains non stop once she gets your ear, mostly about the various dishes we are served and she does not like any of them then complains that she'is always so hungry and always is constipated. I finally suggest that she eat more so she is not so hungry and also it will help her constipation too. then she starts numbering her dislikes and I get up and say, oh my I have a doctors appt must be going. Now I did have one on that day but the next day so it was a little white lie as I had had it up to my neck in her endless complaints.At times when she has buttonholed me and i cannot get away I will counter to every complaint a compliment on certain dishes they serve here that I really like. Usually one or two of these compliments to the staff get her goat and she leaves quickly.

Hi, seems like you have a lot incessant complaints forced into your ear too. Normally, I would just nod, hem and haw and hope that person becomes satisfied and go away. I'm sure your little white lie doesn't hurt.
