I don't understand people sometimes, but who am to judge or complain. Let's all focus on ourselves and quit caring about what others do. If everyone minded their own business and tried to improve themselves, we would be much better off. Along with acceptance of God and Jesus as is Son. |

THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE THEIR BROTHER... IF THEY DID... WHAT WOULD THERE BE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT??? Interesting - so you wouldn't complain if you had an accident that meant most of what you had hoped for was no longer possible - not being antagonistic - just asking - yeah it's one thing to refrain from broadcasting an ongoing commentary of complaints to the world - that is pitiful - but I mean you wouldn't complain in your mind? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42943824 I think you just described an overwhelming majority of codependent attention seekers that pollute this site. I've seen four threads about relationship problems today, which is about five more than there ought to be. Have people always assumed that their problems are the center of our universe? Honestly, I'm really asking. Have people always been this way, or is this a new phenomenon in human existence? |

Some people are dominators, either physically or mentally, some are just vague and distante. Those you speak about are the victims. All them are trying the same thing. To draw attention and energy to them. |

geminilion User ID: 43579070 United States 07/17/2013 12:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have a friend that suits your description to a tee, complete with Fran Dresher whine. Sometimes I have the patience to suck it up and listen and sometimes I tell to her to get a grip. She's not happy unless she's complaining about something. We all complain at least once in a while but damn! I had another friend who would call me almost as soon as I walked in the door from work. She would blather on about how her new truck wasn't ready yet and she couldn't take her furs out of storage meanwhile I barely had enough cash to get a bus pass. This is the same friend who asked me to help her move, there will be a bunch of people! she said. I was the only one that showed up and she hadn't even packed anything, I spent an hour and a half just pulling her bike trailor out of her backyard, I'm such a putz sometimes.

All them are trying the same thing. To draw attention and energy to them. So let me see if I get this right - when people who are fully mobile and financially comfy and well travelled whine to those who are semi house bound and living on the edge of poverty - they are trying to draw attention or energy to themselves? It's what I'm beginning to gather - just that there is something over all pitiful about a person doing this. It's one thing to occasionally share a vent session with a friend who has a similar severity of circumstances but a continual woe's me tale to the less fortunate - yeah - So how would you or others suggest dealing with these attention seekers? |

At one point, Moses' patience reached its breaking point and he sinned against the Lord, in anger against the people. When the people again grumbled against Moses, saying they had no water, the Lord told Moses to speak to the rock and water would flow forth. Instead, Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod. Apparently because he disobeyed the Lord in this act, Moses was not permitted to enter the Promised Land (Num. 20:1-13). That privilege would belong to his successor, Joshua. Quoting: Goofy for God long line [link to www.bible-history.com] 5I just ask this myself |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 39744571 United States 07/17/2013 02:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah, I have a daughter that all she does is complain about her life. She is 26, has a college degree and no student loan debt, and a car with no loan. I practically hung up on her last night because I am trying to stay positive and take charge of my own life. I am a widow and have had to overcome a lot to find happiness again and I won't let her steal mine. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43246177 Sometimes I just want to tell her shut the fuck up and grow up!

Anonymous Coward User ID: 43580561 United States 07/17/2013 02:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 2 kinds of complaintards really irritate me: Quoting: MartianPrincess -Those who complain they're so broke - while they take at least 3 vacations a year. I know a fellow artist friend who's always complaining about not having the money to buy canvases, but she has the money to go vacation in Switzerland? I mean, come on. Stfu. -Those who complain about a job or about a situation which in which they can do something to correct it but they don't. I guess they figure it's easier to whine. I really think some people just like to whine, it's like their venting mechanism. I wish they'd realize how draining it is to be on the receiving end of those rants! While I can understand those who complain once in while when encountering problem, chronic complainers who can work on their problem but choose whining instead, are (emotional) energy vampires. They seek pity attention/energy, that's why it's draining to be around such energy sucking pity seekers. While I don't mind supplying energy to those really suffering in bed or disability, I have learn to refuse to give pity to those who can help themselves but won't because it;s like wasting energy into a black-hole. It's much different from giving help/energy/attention to those who also strive to help themselves, it's empowering and it feel very good seeing they succeed in their small steps. Many time, I have told those chronic complainers that those living in Africa, facing war, torture, mass rape and hunger, are much much more pitiful then these ungrateful complainers who can still eat three times a day, breath easily, have a cozy home to live and finance to support their lifestyle. But from my experience, telling the chronic complainers about suffering people in Africa, won't change their focus on their self concocted pitiful self. It's like they wake up for awhile realizing what I said about Africa was right, but then went back to sleep again and return back to the habit of seeing themselves as "I am the most pitiful people in this world". All about these kind of people is constant focus on I, I, I, my this, my that. Sometimes, when I look into their eyes, I was wondering these people might have been demon possessed because they are not responding to common sense reasoning. So far, I don't think I have any way to exorcise the demon if they want their demons to stay. |

There's nothing wrong for not wanting disaster coming into your doorstep. Everyone including you, need a healthy boundary. To have a healthy boundary, sometime you need to be assertive. Perhaps you can tell her jokingly, "if you want to come, please bring some good news. Please don't keep telling your problem because it aggravate my chronic pain". If she still has some honor in her, she'll respect your term or boundary that her complains aggravate your chronic pain. But if she's just using you for her emotional dumpster, she'll use manipulative guilt inflicting response to make you feel guilty such as, "I am already so dreadful you can't even tolerate it?", to which you may response more assertively "Sorry, my pain is real, I don't want you to add more pain by your complain.". Remind yourself you deserve your own peace and happiness too that you can't let yourself just be emotional dumpster doormat which obviously won't make you happy. If she still keep being pushy and you really don't want her to be around but don't want to offend her, then tell her "Please don't come now. I need time to be alone now. Maybe next time". |
