I have a friend who complains about EVERYTHING. People, objects, life, love, nothing is safe.
I swear he was born a grumpy old man. He says he's just making observations. He never seems to make the positive ones though.
Where do you stand on moaning? Do you feel the need to express your annoyances? Do others ever comment on your negativity?

"Doesnt fab have a day dedicated to this type of poeple?"
Yeah. I'm gonna make him come air his grievances once a week.
Oh wait, he'd probably become one of those guys who complain every day about the women being up themselves cos they don't reply and everyone is fake and the forum is cliquey  |

I detest people who moan all the time. Don't get me wrong, I'm always happy to listen to real problems, but habitual whiners harsh my mellow. So I avoid them x |

Know what you mean and I'm a little like that! but as a society I believe we've turned into a cul-de-sac where not only is there no consequences to anthing or anybody's actions but we don't expect there is be any either.  |

"My ex was like that. Anything, everything, even to the point he'd exaggerate and make things up to moan about.
Turned out he was an abusive bullying narcissistic arsehole. "
And now an ex! Thank Fuck! |

I have this issue with my Sister. Every time we speak, she’s always so negative about everything. I come off the phone feeling completely deflated. It’s become a point of annoyance for me recently, which is awful to say because it’s my Sister. |

Not a fan of moaning whatsoever or negative people. Life really is too short. We don't realise how lucky we are sometimes. Whatever we have now some people never will.
For my work I have to deliver talks/ sessions and the subject matter really is negative. I have to try and lighten the mood after. |

I have a group of friends that when we get together all we do for the first hour is moan about the things that are going wrong with our lives. But it’s very cathartic as it’s a shared experience of life with our young people. Then once we’ve done that we can then concentrate on the laughs. But yes a negative person does tend to suck the life from me x |

Everyone has a grumble and that's fine but I know someone like you know but it's a she. She never has a pleasant word to say and wonders why no one phones her or asks her out.
Weather, politics, t.v. , prices , people ........... it's allllll bad. I don't answer the phone to her anymore.
Like you mention ..... someone's outlook has to be balanced. I can't take to Rebecca of Sunnybrook farm types either. |

Those type of person, as much as annoying they may appear, are actually loveable!
A bit like the character played by Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino... The guy is so despicable in some of his attitudes, yet so loveable by the way he expresses them !!

I try not to moan too much, nobody enjoys the company of a persistent complainer.
I have worked with people like this and it seems to be a habit they get in to and can't get out of. I think it's a sign of low grade depression, to feel that negative all the time must be horrible. |

I try not to moan too much in life as negativity just drags yourself and people around you down. Some people moan about the same old things wrong in their life i.e. hate their job, not happy at home, bored, yet won't take steps to improve their life. That's when I stop listening to them.
Sometimes it is avoidable, and I can go on a rant, but then I usually look for the humour and get over it.
Some people just love to moan and be negative, we see it here in the forums often enough from both men and women, and it's not appealing in the slightest.
If you don't like something in life, try and either change it or avoid it. |

We moan all the time at work but it's because it's a shared bad situation we're all in. Sharing the crap makes us feel better. Some kind of war time camaraderie type thing. |
