Someone Call the "WAH-mbulance"

from Kelly Williams Brown's Adulting: How to Become a Grown-Up in 468 Easy(ish) Steps:

Don’t mention how tired you are
Whoa, what? You’re tired? What a fascinating and rare tidbit! Also, this person will definitely be able to help you out on the sleep front.

oh you're tired? you worked all day? you have a million things to do? well, here's a little secret Sally-Works-A-Lot, SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE!!  Oh and did all of that complaining and whining actually give you more energy and make you less sleepy? no? really? it didn't??? I'm Shocked!

If there is one thing in the world that I do not have any patience for, it's people who complain.  So much so, I devised a list;

1)  Complaining makes you less attractive

That should be reason enough to stop complaining.  Your date will not be interested in you what-so-ever if all you talk about is yourself, and your problems.

2)  You're situation will not change

If you're complaining about something, you're only escalating the issue.  For instance, if you're unhappy about a situation at work, going on and on about how horrible it is only adds to the problem.

3) You cannot dwell on things that are beyond your own control

When something is completely out of your hands, the only thing to do is accept it and move on.


Be a problem solver, not a problem starter.

If you are unhappy about a situation at work, speak to your boss about it.  What's the worst that could happen?  Keep in mind that actions speak louder than words.  Continuing to complain and whine about something that bothers you is creating more negative energy that no one wants to be a part of.
So to end my lengthy rant keep this in mind;  change what makes you unhappy or lay the bed you've made or yourself.
