Recently I wrote about changing your attitudes, being more positive! Safe to say, I have less than positive feelings about complaining!
People who complain alot – do they really think that’s going to change anything? I’ve admitted in the past that I used to REALLY complain about bad drivers. EGAD – where are these people from? But I have made a concerted effort lately to not let it rattle me as much.
(Is that called “practice what you preach”?)
Are you hurting the other person? Nope. Are you changing the other person’s behavior? Most likely not. Complaining hurts me; it leads to anger, headaches, bitterness, negativity, raised blood pressure, and I’m pretty sure my eyes cross and I get those frown wrinkles between my brows. Botox anyone?
I found a definition of the action: “Complaining is expressing dissatisfaction with a circumstance that is not wrong and about which I’m doing nothing to correct.”
Just because it’s wrong in my opinion, does it necessarily make it wrong? Deep thoughts to leave you with:
“Criticism involves people; complaining involves circumstances.”
In the season of Thanksgiving, definitely something to be aware of as we go about our busy daily lives.
