Where do you fall on the chronic complainer scale?

1 is "I make the best of every situation."

10 is "I gripe about EVERYTHING!"

Is yelling the f bomb loudly considered complaining at all? Niagara Sep 2024 #7

I really don't have a whole lot to complain about in life, but if you give me a reason...

I'm probably a 6 bordering on a 7?

A life-time habit of complaining assures that one will never be complaint free.

So in that case, I don't let little things get under my skin. Do I get upset at major issues, of course, but the small stuff I just take a breath and move on. Time is too short.

I appreciate your honesty!

But we still love having you here, so you're going to have to reach an 11 to turn us away!

I try to be a uniter and not a divider. I try to offer solutions and not create problems. I know I'm not perfect and I believe that the ones that need love the most are often the most difficult to love. So, I try. I don't always succeed but I do try.

I also use Full Ignore. Liberally.





Thanks for sharing this, True.

With that answer I'm not much of a complainer and I try to roll with the punches.


However, lately there's been too many punches.

I don't really complain much at all, and don't like to be around people who do.
