Chronic Complainers

[Jazzy]

Chronic complainers can't usually find good in anything or anyone and, on the few occasions when good is found in a situation, it is a short-lived moment. Soon afterward, things return to normal with the complainer in full swing.​

People who complain a lot tend to worsen the moods of everyone they come into contact with; happy people become irritated, and disheartened people become more upset. For the period of time people are around chronic complainers, it can be somewhat difficult to remember all the good that exists in life.​

Questions: Do you know a person who is a chronic complainer? If so, how do you deal with them?​

I have a co-worker at work who is a chronic complainer. She complains about EVERYTHING. If you dare disagree with her, she will just start an argument. The only way I can deal with her is to try to turn a deaf ear or just ignore what she's saying. She gets on my nerves sometimes so bad that I feel like yelling SHUT UP at the top of my lungs. I think people who are chronic complainers are missing something in their lives or they are just plain attention whores. ​

I especially love the ones that complain about something that was their original idea, or that they themselves intentionally did.

There is a few at work. I just say 'Okay, I'll take care of it.' if its something pertaining to my job... If its just random complaints about random crap, I'll nod and listen to an extent, then I'll say I gotta go
