I can’t stand people who complain, but won’t change the situation. Just complain about it. Some people say, I hate my job, but don’t actively look for other work or better their resumes to find a job with more to offer. People say, dating sucks (and it does! Don’t let anyone tell you different!) buy they don’t know what they’re looking for or are unwilling to give new things/people a shot. What I hate most is complaining about something that only you can change to fix. If you complain that you’re fat and unhappy, then maybe you should quit eating so much shit, work out and start building some self esteem. I can’t do that for you, so complaining to me is just asking to sympathy that I don’t have for your lazy ass. I’m all for sympathizing and helping people who want to change- that’s not who I’m talking about. They complain and get off their asses to work. Others just want to drown in their own tears and have anyone that will come attend their little pity party and hope that they bring tissues. I’m not interested in people who won’t help themselves. I’m not into people who don’t take responsibility for themselves, their lives, their health- mental, spiritual or emotional. If you resign yourself to never helping yourself but have all these wants and needs, forget about them! This life and this world only wants you for what you can give. Either you want to be able to give or you don’t. I have no problem with people “seeing themselves to the door” but I do have a problem with people complaining about how shitty their lives are but refuse to do anything to change it. It’s not that they don’t know that they’re the key, it’s that they don’t want better. Just attention.

So you’re complaining about people who complain?
Doesn’t that mean you’re also complaining about yourself? š
I mean come on, what’s it to you? You don’t have to save the world. You’re not responsible for their well being.
Some of those people’s problems are not quite as simple as you seem to suggest.
You should perhaps consider the source of any complaint: it may be coming from a person who has had an entirely different upbringing and life experiences than yours, and to them, it may seem like an entirely legitimate complaint.
And besides… what’s wrong with wanting attention? I suppose “complaining solely for the purpose of grabbing attention” is worthy of ridicule, but it might not be as cut-and-dry as you seem to interpret it.
But hey, i get annoyed too, when someone who has had a much better life than mine, complains about trivial shit like it’s “important.” I tend not to associate with those people for very long, once discovered.
Kind of a he who throws the first stone situation.
Complaining about wanting a significant other is legitimate… It’s something that can’t be easily be fixed like over eating. Women like to complain that all men are pigs, but when it comes down to it, they’re usually the ones who don’t want a committed relationship..
I’m not complaining about people complaining. I’m complaining about people who are just rattling cans. Complaining about shit they can help. It’s like complaining that you’re hungry, and you have the means to get fed, but you’d rather complain about being hungry instead.
Some people have legitimate problems but I apply the same logic to them as the hungry person. You got serious problems, you need serious help, not bs and empty sympathy.
Yes, it is an over simplified post and list of things people may be spouting their mouths about but it really is that simple. You either get off your ass, or you don’t. I know losing weight isn’t easy, but it’s easy to make the choice about what you’re gonna do to fix your problem. Otherwise, if that same fat person is gonna cry about being fat and is stuffing their face with donuts simultaneously, I have no sympathy and I refuse to give a shit about your stupid complaint. You don’t have to agree, but I don’t have enough feels to go around for everyone, and I prioritize my attention by how much i think you’re likely to succeed.
“Iām not complaining about people complaining. Iām complaining about people who are just rattling cans. Complaining about shit they can help. ”
And you can’t help listening to these people then? I mean really, some people just like to complain about everything. It’s their style and part of their personality. If you know that kind of people then you have to tell them that you don’t like their behavior. You also need to realize that complaining doesn’t bother everyone. Personally I’m the kind of person to who it is okay to vent about almost everything. I will probably bring out my own opinion about the matter at hand, but the complaining itself rarely bothers me.
