Ok here is the deal, I have about had it with people in my life that complain, *****, carry on like no one else has problems but them. They expect the people around them to listen and be their sounding boards. It is dragging my down and I am sick of it! Does anyone else have this issue? and if so what do you do about it? Its not just as easy as stop talking to them or cut them out of my life either.
Sorry for the venting.

    Pot, meet kettle.
  • Learn to leave it with them and get on with your promoting your positive self. Like begets like.... the more positive you are the more positive people you will attract. And those you can't get rid of, sometimes just saying something like "oh, that must be awful" will quiet them - just looking for recognition most of the time. At least that's my 2 cents! :-)

    Good luck!!

    I don't have this problem, I deleted everyone off facebook that was negative and I discontinued talking to anyone in real life. Problem solved.

    Everyone complains about something...you're complaining about others complaining.......lol

    We all have negative moments.

    That being said, if you don't like negative ppl then just get rid of them. Don't let others bring you down.

    I posted a quote this morning that fits for this thread....

    "You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay? Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change." - Jim Rohn

    My fiance tends to be a glass is half empty kinda guy and it frustrates me sometimes too. I just take a deep breath and try to help him see it from other possible viewpoints. He is slowly getting less negative but it sure is a process. If you are committed to him take a deep breath and help him see the positives instead of focusing on the negatives.

    If you don't like it, then speak up to the person doing the complaining. It's as simple as that.

    Same way I handle my husband when he starts complaining... I just try to show him the silver lining. It doesn't always help him, but it helps me better deal with it. Hope you find a solution!

    when it starts to bother me.. i just stop reading those kinds of posts *S*.. simple

    Most that complain that way are simply seeking attention.., the only cure for that is to ignore.
