Yes. </p> <p>On social media? Oh hail no, I can't stand that...ONCE in a while it all gets to be too much and I will let one fly on FB (a rant about the grocery store from last week comes to mind) but I know I have it pretty good so I try to be the least eye-roll worthy as possible. </p> <p>Unless of course we're talking about the IF boards, then I think anything goes. :)</p> <p>I've blocked many friends (and family even) that are too complainy on facebook. Like every. single. update. is a complaint about one thing or another. No patience for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1702623 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:57:55 +0000 Anagram 1702623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: :wink: My husband just needs to learn to back off during the complaining phase and let me get to the "make it work" stage, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1702585 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:43:12 +0000 BSB 1702585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In life and to other people? No. Well, unless you are a close friend/family.<br /> In my head? Yes. I keep my thoughts to myself unless I can complain to someone who can relate/understand.<br /> At home? Yes.<br /> I can tolerate things that I can't control in my life, but when I'm at home, I like things to be a certain way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1702581 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:42:05 +0000 loveisstrange 1702581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Hahaha, this is me, 100%!!</p> <p>I get really pissed and yell, then I complain and whine, and then I get over it.</p> <p>So yeah, Im probably a complainer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1702389 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 09:47:54 +0000 Alivoo01 1702389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to be. I normally just suck it up and murmur under my breath and deal with it. If I'm really frustrated, I vent to my BFF and feel better afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1702290 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 09:18:06 +0000 swurlygurl 1702290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessibear: Ah, me too! I don't know why I do this! Maybe it just plays into my already awkward personality... haha</p> <p>I'm not really a complainer, but sometimes my comments come off unintentionally complain-y because I have nothing else to say :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1702278 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 09:15:08 +0000 septca 1702278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at home. But at work? Yes. I really need to work on that. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1702269 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 09:11:00 +0000 autumnlove 1702269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1702263 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 09:09:11 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1702263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used to be. I was one of those people that believed in changing your situation so you don't have to complain. That's until I realized that adults don't always have a choice in the matter. Sometimes you just got to deal and complaining is a necessary and healthy release. Yes, I complain :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1702158 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 08:23:51 +0000 bushelandapeck 1702158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to be. DH is a huge complainer and has a hard time being optimistic about anything so I feel like I have to overcompensate a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1702132 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 08:09:22 +0000 snowjewelz 1702132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, 100% esp compared to DH haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1701892 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 20:57:55 +0000 Anagram 1701892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm totally a complainer. I have like, stages of grief when something goes wrong in my life.<br /> Stage 1: freak out<br /> Stage 2: complain (to get it out of my system, NOT to get advice)<br /> Stage 3: acceptance<br /> Stage 4: put on big girl panties and find solution</p> <p>But I can never, ever get to stage 4 without the first 3 steps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1701888 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 20:52:09 +0000 jessibear 1701888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Isn't it odd? I really don't mean to be negative, I just tend to comment in a way that makes it seem like I'm complaining. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1701802 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 19:15:23 +0000 cmomma17 1701802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: ditto!! I'm always encouraging people to stay positive but in truth I'm a total whiner! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1701801 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 19:13:06 +0000 Crystal 1701801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I do the same thing! It's usually when I'm reaching for something to say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1701695 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 16:10:32 +0000 Running Elley 1701695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I know lots of people who are though and I complain about them ;) lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1701693 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 16:08:53 +0000 googly-eyes 1701693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are we talking about toward our spouses? </p> <p>I think in general I am just very up front about the status of things whether they are good or bad. With most people I try to minimize complaints or at least be lighthearted about them. With dh I bring up things that are bothering me so we can work it out and move on. It's better than the alternative of becoming resentful, for us at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1701682 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 15:54:22 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1701682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessibear: this is exactly what I do and it comes off as complaining. I don't even realize I do it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1701672 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 15:45:40 +0000 deactivated_account 1701672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to be - no one likes a nag. When I do complain, I try to be complaining about good things, like "DH, please make that doctor's appointment. You don't want to die, do you?" Or, DH has plenty of friends whose wives are major ball busters and I have vowed to never fall into that category.</p> <p>ETA: Sometimes I sulk, and that could just be complaining in disguise.... so... maybe I do complain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1701668 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 15:41:59 +0000 Cherrybee 1701668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to be super positive and always look on the bright side but it's a cover up (and an unconvincing one at that) - because I'm actually a massive moaner!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1701662 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 15:38:07 +0000 lemondrop 1701662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, neither of us are, but I am the more optimistic one. My husband knows that it's when I get quiet that I am not a happy camper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1701631 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 15:01:25 +0000 jessibear 1701631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm more positive than my husband. My downfall is I tend to make complaining type comments to fill silence when I'm with people I don't know very well. For instance, "I'm so tired," or "my head hurts." It definitely comes off as complaining, I think. It's something I try to work on and be aware of. I had no idea I even did it until I was voted biggest complainer of my high school class. Yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-complainer#post-1701602 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 14:26:56 +0000 Dandelion 1701602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope.
