Seriously you *choose* your outlook, you are not a victim of the world. I have a bunch of those on my FB too but I just ignore them. I had one guy who kept b*tching about how annoying all his friends FB statuses were because they kept complaining, they posted boring things, etc - not seeing the irony AT ALL! I deleted him! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-debbie-downers#post-421737 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:25:45 +0000 Bookish 421737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, my mom! She is the most negative person I've ever met. Any conversation you have turns into a competition of who is worse off :p It's ridiculous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-debbie-downers#post-421730 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:25:08 +0000 ladyfingers 421730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I have one friend in particular who has a lot of *sigh* Facebook statuses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-debbie-downers#post-421727 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:24:10 +0000 Meridian 421727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: @autumnlove: Haha, apparently it isn't any better in sunny, beautiful Hawaii either :)</p> <p>I should probably try and delete this post eventually so they don't accidentally stumble upon it one day... hehe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-debbie-downers#post-421715 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:19:40 +0000 Alivoo01 421715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: @autumnlove: Agreed!! Hubby and a bunch of his friends/family work in retail pharmacy and I heard about those complaints too!! Mail order or hospital pharmacy is apparently the way to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-debbie-downers#post-421708 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:14:04 +0000 .twist. 421708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. One of my co-workers is SUCH a debbie downer. She's gone through a bit of a hard time lately, but even before that she was such a pessimist. Part of her job is answering phones, when the phone rings she scowls at it and answers with such attitude like the person calling has NO RIGHT to call us! </p> <p>That is one example of MANY. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-debbie-downers#post-421702 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:04:45 +0000 autumnlove 421702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: Ya! Oh, you probably see a lot of posts about how much they hate dealing with insurance, customers and standing on their feet. I know a lot of pharmacists! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-debbie-downers#post-421694 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:00:53 +0000 T-Mom 421694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll confess that I have been called a "Debbie Downer" or "stick in the mud" by some of my close friends. Usually they say this with love. I try not to do those kinds of posts on FB or in public, I just tend to have a more pessimistic or "realistic" (as I like to think) outlook on things. I try to reign it in though, since I know no one likes the Debbie Downer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-debbie-downers#post-421692 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:59:28 +0000 JerricaBenton 421692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, a few. We try to avoid them as much as we can. One is my husband's sister though, so she's hard to avoid :0 We always joke that you can call her in the best mood ever, and by the time you get off the phone you're depressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-debbie-downers#post-421688 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:56:01 +0000 Meridian 421688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: They work retail... is that considered "outpatient", I'm assuming? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-debbie-downers#post-421676 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:50:36 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 421676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a couple! I have some family members that always post negative things. It makes me sad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-debbie-downers#post-421673 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:49:40 +0000 autumnlove 421673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do but I blocked most from my newsfeed. I will visit their pages occasionally if I want to get bummed out!</p> <p>@sweetchic: I wonder if they work inpatient or outpatient? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-debbie-downers#post-421667 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:48:04 +0000 mrbee 421667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know quite a few. I used to blame them, but now I blame myself... I must attract them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-debbie-downers#post-421662 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:46:45 +0000 Meridian 421662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have these friends, they are married and I have known the guy FOREVER (we've been friends since we were 14). But him and his wife have evolved into total debbie downers over the years! They are both pharmacists and HATE their jobs, and that's all they ever posted about on FB. Every post was a complaint. He also likes to complain in real life too, haha :P </p> <p>A few years ago, they talked about their dream of one day moving to Hawaii... and then this year, they actually made it happen! Off to Hawaii they went! And yet, the daily FB complaints are still happening... makes me want to turn off their notifications, haha. </p>
