Ok, that title sounds like I am going to start yet another thread on people that troll this site..hold on to your pantyhose because I'm not
I just wanted to talk about people in general. You know the ones you see on your Facebook or on here that seem to have a bad day EVERYDAY!! I understand if you are suffering from depression (whole other story). I honestly get *edited by MFP moderator* off by these people even though I shouldn't, which I yell at myself for that fact that my blood pressure rises at all:laugh: When you feel like you are having a bad day(which is allowed every now and again obvi(I hate the "word" obvi) think of the people who are living in actual horrid situations. One example..*edited by MFP moderator*...I know this is extreme but is is reality. If you are not being abused in any way, have someONE that you can talk to(or not), roof over your head, and food in your belly please be grateful and stop the pity party already!! I hope everyone has a FABULOUS day

so your complaining about people who complain too much :huh: lol :laugh:0

Um, wow.....
I can understand your frustration with such people, but you're taking it a bit far aren't you?0 -
^^ It wasn't complaining, and I did't mean it that way. I just was trying to have people think of the good things they have going for them. But you can twist it how you would like.0

Are you guys serious?? It wasn't meant to be taken that way. So you can stop already.0

I fail to see how this is "Motivation and Support".0

Ditto, That's just what I wanted to think about this morning was men raping their wives....0 -
The world is full of snivelers.
And people with such toxic attitudes want to spread their misery.
I am fast to cut from my life those who can't seem to live well or find happiness.
At the end of the day it's not the world that is so despairing and hopeless; it's them.
I want happy people in my life - not a bunch of bonehead depression cases who see every glass as half empty.

im thinking that your FRIENDS feel that maybe THIER PERSONAL SOCIAL NETWROKING SITE is the only place they can let out thier frustration, and maybe that you as a FRIEND would understand that and either A) over look it, or
give them some FRIENDLY SUPPORT. I doubt they considered that one of thier FRIENDS would take thier griefs and bash it on yet another social networking website. Maybe what they are experiencing is "THE WORSE" for them. We all handle situations differently. Example: My 12 year old son has a bad heart, he needs a pacemaker... 29 out of 30 days I handle this just fine while we wait for specialist approvals, insurance approvals and numerous appointments, however, sometimes, theres 1 day a month that I need to vent, cry, and even complain... I JUST THINK GOD THAT THE "FRIENDS" ON MY FACEBOOK ARE MY ACTUAL "FRIENDS"... I would be very disapointed to find out that I had a FRIEND like you who bashed my "grief" on another social networking site. 0 -
Well it's all just a matter of perspective, isn't it?
There will always be people who complain about their lot in life, no matter how good/bad/neutral/whatever judgement you want to make on them, is. Learning to tune them out, to not let the actions/in-actions of others affect you is a skill that will benefit you for the rest of your life.
Consider this practice

How was this not complaining about complaining? You are frustrated about something and decided to vent just like they did. Maybe you should try your own advice. Having to see people complaining isn't as bad as being abused right? So don't worry about it.0

Wow ooooook.im thinking that your FRIENDS feel that maybe THIER PERSONAL SOCIAL NETWROKING SITE is the only place they can let out thier frustration, and maybe that you as a FRIEND would understand that and either A) over look it, or give them some FRIENDLY SUPPORT. I doubt they considered that one of thier FRIENDS would take thier griefs and bash it on yet another social networking website. Maybe what they are experiencing is "THE WORSE" for them. We all handle situations better. Example: My 12 year old son has a bad heart, he needs a pacemaker... 29 out of 30 days I handle this just fine while we wait for specialist approvals, insurance approvals and numerous appointments, however, sometimes, theres 1 day a month that I need to vent, cry, and even complain...

, You're right.. Maybe I should cut down my friends list so I don't even have to read it anymore! 0 -

Hi hun!
don't you worry I understand you too well. I can't understand people that keep complaining instead of doing something about it. I'm too radical for this world I guess, but I believe in Social Darwinism, I'm not a nazi, but hey, survival of the species, those who think they have miserable lives when they haven't miserable lives deserve their own unhappiness. And yes, I bet you've tried to cheer them all up, as I've done with most of the people I've met like that, you try once, they seem ok but ohh soon after they come with the same old story "my life is complicated, but my.."(someone can't be changed overnight).. so you try twice, they still come up with the same "ohh my life sucks"... and then you soon figure out... they're not willing to change their lives, so why wasting my time showing them to stop complaining and be happy for the things that they have.
However this is not the perfect site for doing so, as a lot of peopel feel powerless and miserable that they haven't lost one or two lbs, and they're all seeming to take it personally, and then they need to bring you down saying things like "you're a bad person who don't support them". Is like fat people who don't want to lose weight and they call us "sick" and "superficial" for counting calories.

Just block their updates from your newsfeed. I think you can "unsubscribe" or something similar. Removing toxic people is a good thing. 0 -

It's changed a bit since they changed the site, but I think if you click on the arrow next to a status/photo/whatever and click "unsubscribe," you should stop seeing the updates.0 -

THIS!
I understand that there ARE some people out there that seem to only be happy when they are complaining. HOWEVER, you have no idea what personal demons they are fighting, or what situations may be happening in their lives. Until you walk a mile in their shoes....which, lets just face it, can't be done....don't judge or complain about them. Show some compassion. I try very hard to live my life as positively as I possibly can, but there are times when I just can't find a positive thought in my head. And, when I let out some negativity, my friends are there to support me and lift me up. That's what friends are for.
I am also in agreement with another poster....this is NOT "Motivation and Support"...you may have been the cause of someone feeling terrible about themselves for complaining this morning....
THINK before you speak: is it True? Helpful? Inspiring? Necessary? Kind?
If the answer is NO, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid.0 -

Ah! This is it!! I always try to leave people uplifting comments when I see that they are feeling down! I hope that one comment may brighten their day just alittle..but you are right, it is the ones that ALWAYA have a but this, and but that...thats what I was reffering to and maybe my example of having it really bad was super extreme, but really its a reality so I figured I would use it lol. I can't delete this, but it's ok. Not everone has to agree with me and the way they take this post is up to them. Everyone comes from different walks of lifes and I guess it is their perspective.
