In one morning I read snippets from two articles that mentioned complaining, one said to just fix the issue instead of complaining about the problem and the other mentioned just be happy about what we have and ignore what troubles we don’t have. Is it as simple as mentioned in the articles and as others will say? It’s often said don’t bother to complain because it doesn’t help it just makes you upset more often than not. Or does complaining help to get rid of the anxiety and the stress? Does complaining help you to put what the problem is out in the open or is it that it only makes the environment around you toxic because you make no effort to fix the issue you just talk about it?🤔

Is it that we complain because we feel that there is nothing we can do about the issue and so we feel helpless. If we feel helpless doesn’t it then push us to just go to the person that we feel will help to complain? But then I think very often persons don’t go to the person that can help but to a peer who is also as helpless as they are. Why is that? I know birds of a feather flock together but if they can’t help why complain to them? Could it be that they make you feel better by agreeing with you? When do we get to the place where we are mindful of what we say and the effect it can have on others? Sometimes it moves from just complaining to being vindictive with our words. Remember word can hurt.

How do we take ourselves to the point where we don’t bother complaining but figure out the root cause of the issue and make plans to fix it? Complaining takes us nowhere but it can help us to feel better because we get the issue off our chest, but at what point do we stop talking and do something? How do we ensure it doesn’t become negative and toxic? I know it’s not all times we can move away from the constant complaining from others but how do we stop it from sucking us in and taint our outlook? When and how do we prevent the complaining from crossing that line and dragging us down and beating us into submission?

Are you a complainer or are you a fixer? Do you listen or do you block out the complaints so as to not allow it to suck you in and spiral you into negativity? How do you handle issues?

Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. It could also spawn another blog. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
