Why do people always want to find a reason to complain about something? (Ambien, boyfriend)

[Haeley_Ramirez]

Is it me or do most people just always whine and complain about something so small?
Today i heard a couple people ***** about
Oh my lord its raining so much can it stop?
I hate gettin wet
Then theres **** omg traffic i hate traffic
Then someone say oh woe is me i dont get paid well enough
And than someone else

Saying no these in n out burgers are not good mcdonalds is better.
I hate my neighbors
Boy are we as humans always finding something to complain about?
The only thing i complain about today is how some people can be dumb to drive like maniacs while theres heavy rain

Same reason people complain about other people on CD.

Some just aren't happy unless they're unhappy.

The odd thing is that I used to get criticized for being 'happy' at work! Coworkers would chide me with, "Why are so happy? It's irritating!!" Can't win for losing sometimes.

Yep. Also having trouble finding a job which would be 9-5 with weekends off so she could spend the weekend with her boyfriend.


Apparently she found that job. Hopefully the boyfriend appreciates being catered to.

hahaha true, I remember a girl at work being irritated by me and asking why I never moaned... I smiled went away and thought I was a bit weird..

I think it is that way because some people just aren't happy enough with life they have. Lack of endorphines in blood, that stuff

[magpiehere]

when things are going fairly well many people "need" to complain because little annoyances are more obvious.


When bigger (bad) things are taking up your headspace not so much room for little stupid stuff.

People that have no center, thus, their minds flip all over
out of control say the things they think.
The issue is, indeed, that they spread their negativity and obvious discontent...
but, the real issue is their lack of recognizing the hold the egoic mind has on them.
They need help...but, ya can't really give it unless you are their friend and do
it with love ---or they ask for it.

I was such a person once...it is an unpleasant thing to be that person...such unhappiness
and complaining inside that is hard to hide....blaming
everything 'else' as the cause of things not 'being right' in ME!

BUT, I did IT! I practice Thought Control...not much to control anymore...the lower ego self
is actually pretty easy to put a leash on.

Things like ambient weather and traffic simply 'are'.

We are completely free to feel, think, and respond to them however suits us.

Some people complain about things that cannot be changed. I give them short shrift and take the conversation elsewhere.

"This weather is too @!*&^ing cold"

"It's January. Thank heavens for goretex and microfiber. Technology is amazing! Just think, thousands of tiny fibers trapping warm air... "

Then they can either take up the hint to talk about new technology, or they can stew in their own juices.

I've taken my own mind into a place of gratitude and wonder.
