Complainers
How many times do you go through life listening to people complaining that they are not happy with where they are working or where they live or even the course their life is taking.
I always believe that if your are not happy then you are the only person who can do something about it.
I came across this quote tonight and thought I would share it with you all as it is such a true saying and fits in well with my way of thinking about this subject.
Does anyone else get fed up with people constantly complaining about the same things.
Hope you all

I absolutely love this. I found myself complaining so many times about my money, life, love, kids, job, it gets ridiculous and annoying. I have even heard my self bitching about something and told myself to shut up! Life IS what you make it. I love the phrase above and could not agree more. Thank you for the self-check!
whiners irritate the heck out of me. I can do without their negativity. And I agree with u, only u can change whatever position u are in.
Thanks Carl for your comment and love your picture. What is your dogs name?
Nice to see that you were in agreement with me that only the person complaining is the one that can change things not the one they are complaining to. xx
That is so true. My baby is a 110lbs (50kg) American Bulldog named Molly. She is now 8 years old. :)

Complainers and whiners I can do without. I have no patience for them and they are a downer to be around.
Erica
It depends on what they are complaining about Erica but when they start moaning about things that they could do something to help themselves or change things for them then that really gets on my nerves.
Thanks for your comment. xx
Absolutely. It's the constant complaining instead of taking action to make changes that I'm talking about.
True...
The are complainers and there are Complainers...
Differences between the two from what I have seen and experienced...
The latter are hard to be around for long periods of time...
My mindset is fix the complaints and enjoy the fruits of your labor (no complaints allowed hehe)!
Cheers!
Dave : )
Thanks for your comment Dave and I agree with you totally. Some complainers can be tolerated but others are a big no no and as you say, they can be hard to be around for long periods of time. xx
I think there's a difference between complaining and offering constructive criticism: to complain is just talk badly about a situation, whereas constructive criticism is to talk about a situation while offering a solution.
I think we've all complained at one time or another whether on this platform or elsewhere. If we have ever talked badly about the weather, knowing that you really can't change it, you've complained.
I think to complain is human nature. But I would rather have someone offer constructive criticism because ay least with that, it can create some sort of dialogue, with complaining, it's just one person talking.
Thanks Veronica and I totally agree with you but when people just complain for the sake of it about hating their job or their lives and then do nothing to try and change things for themselves it really gets on my nerves as the person they are moaning to can't change things for them, only they can do it.
I know we can all complain about things and in Scotland it is very much the weather lol but unfortunately we can't do anything to change that and I don't have a problem with that sort of complaining.
As the quote says, if you don't like where you are, move. You are not a tree and therefore you are not stuck to the ground and can't move.
Glad about that Mike, was just wondering as Steve has limited internet till he gets it sorted, Chris is busy with his other work and I haven't seen Michael (Ultimateless) on here recently either. xx
Hi Cheryl,
I personally don't mind people complaining, I surround myself with positive like-minded thinking people. The First And Last Thing I Do Each And Every Day Of My Life Is Thank My LORD And Savior For Blessing Me And Giving Me The Opportunity To Witness AnOther Blessed Day!
To God Give The Glory;
Always Praise His Holy Name;
Your Brother in Christ;
William
Thanks William for your comment. I don't mind people complaining either as I have done so myself at times but I just get fed up listening to people saying how much they hate their job but do nothing about trying to find something else that would make them happier. xx
Like a friend of mine says, "If someone complains about the same thing I am going to give them the same answer I did last time."
To me if the same thing keeps coming up in their life no change is going on. Do something different get different results. Do the same thing get the same results.
Same complaints they are doing the same thing over and over.
Good point and thanks for talking about it.
You are very welcome and I am always of the opinion that if you are not happy with something then do something to change it, don't moan and then do nothing. xx

I agree with what you say about complainers Cheryl. It's up to them to make changes.
I love your image and your signature. Gorgeous!!
Thanks Valerie, I always believe that if you can change something do it. Don't complain about it and then do nothing about solving the problem unless it's the weather and we can't do anything about that lol. Xx
We're allowed to complain about the weather! But all else is barred! oxo
Definitely Valerie, living in Scotland you can't help but complain about the weather lol. Xx
Likewise down here in the far South lol. oxo
You and I can complain to each other then lol. xx
True Cheryl. We're not just fair weather friends, we're friends come rain, hail or sunshine. lol. oxo
We definitely are Valerie, never mind what the weather is like lol. Xox
