Poll question: Are You A Complainer...Or The Grin-&-Bere-It Type?
Do you never miss an opportunity to tell someone when they're annoying you or bothering you?

Or do you constantly live with annoyance and aggrevation, but bottle it up inside or just let it roll off your back?

Me, I'm the second type. My girlfriend, she's the first type. I truely believe this is why we're perfect for eachother. I doubt two of the same types of people could sustain a workable relationship. One person has to be the complainer and the other the complainee.

What are you?

1. I can't deal with complainers.
They're complaints are usually just a ploy to get attention, or to compare themselves favourably to the object of their ire.

To pierce. --Chaucer.


\Bere\, n.
See Bear, barley.



(although, yeah, it's bear in this context)

9. Bare it, stoic type
I was always alone as a child, so complaining was not something i grew up doing.

I either solve it or put up with it.

10. Not a complainer/complainee relationship but a communicative one.
I think two people who are the first type can work out quite well... I've been in many relationships with those of the second type, and they never work for me. But I wouldn't call myself a complainer, just someone who speaks her mind.

11. I complain about people who don't complain
I complain when I'm happy
I complain when I'm mad
I complain when I'm tired
I complain when I'm sad

If I'm not complaining, something must be wrong. Yes, I hate this about myself, but if I keep things inside I will simply burst.
