tongue AdvancedHonestly, everyone should be like me. I'm clinically depressed and stressed out all the time, but I don't go to therapy, and I certainly don't b---- about my problems like a self-important little brat. I just keep living, because nobody wants to put up with the same emotional garbage over and over. The people around you will be alot happier if you just keep to yourself. And if the people you live with are happy, then you'll be happy. Simple as that.
This is kind of a response to my little sister, who is currently crying in her room and talking to our Mom. She's sad because someone called her fat, or something. I don't know, and I really don't care either. The way I see it is that you either accept who you are or you change what you don't like. Crying like a b---- is not an option.
I'm going to be such a good parent. My children will remember me well in therapy! -
Hey, you sound like me! :P
I know what you mean. It gets EXTREMELY annoying though like I'm the person who seems like everything is fine all the time cuz I dont complain a lot, so everyone else comes to me with their issues.. today my coworker said that I should be a therapist cuz at least then I'd get paid to listen to everyone's whining xP -
Well, I disagree. I believe It's healthy and human to have emotions and need to deal with them. Venting helps release stress and pain. Now, I don't believe it's right to complain for no reason or b---- and moan about nothing, but there are times when something is serious and someone cannot bare the burden quietly. I went through such deep depression and anxiety and if I didn't get help I'd be in such inner pain and agony.
My dad has PTSD and he has a ton of inner pain because of it, but he seems to quietly dealing with it. I've experience first hand that someone can be wounded emotionally. It's serious, and I care about helping people with it. -
I know what you mean about the second part, but I disagree with the first part
I don't whine very often because of the first part
I just listen to others and try to help.
Complaining may make others miserable, but it's good to get this s--- out of the way
Just because you don't think it's something to complain about doesn't mean it doesn't hurt for them. It's a STUPID reason to be crying I know, but think of how she probably feels. (girls -.-') -
Whining is stupid.
Having emotions is normal and anyone who hates you for being sad can suck it.
Basically what I'm saying is if you're sad, that's fine. If you're sad and announcing it in unnecessary times and places, that's annoying. -
You should never keep emotions in for a prolonged amount of time. They are meant to be expressed. No one ever tries to prevent themselves from smiling when they are euphoric, do they? The same can be for negative emotions. There is a time and a place for everything, but eventually they have to come out. It's not improving anything if the issue is not confronted. It's not healthy for the long term.
Also, it's not whining or b----ing. It's not self-importance. You're a person, who's entitled to express their emotions and address them. I'm sure if anyone knows you well, and understands, they'll be there for comfort and support, and won't misunderstand.
You could say, if you're truly happy the people around you will be even happier. -
tongue AdvancedSome people just enjoy throwing pity parties for themselves. My sister is one of those people.

tongue AdvancedAlso it should be understood that no one can make you feel bad without your consent. So if someone called Anna (my sister) fat and the end result is her crying in her room, then clearly she thinks she is fat (she really isn't fat, she just doesn't look like a Victoria's Secret model like society says she should). So in that situation, you can either get a thicker skin and be proud of who you are, or you change what you don't like. If your solution is complaining and getting sad over and over again, then I can't be too sympathetic.
I do feel bad for my sister. I don't want her to be sad. But I'm not gonna act like it's everyone else who's making her sad. Playing the victim card is a bad way to go through life. -
Whining and complaining over the slightest thing, frequently or infrequently, having "pity parties" and just being a total attention seeker of sympathy is of course the wrong way to go about it. My solution is the complete opposite.
I was, actually, referring to you. If you've been diagnosed with clinical depression, which is a serious mental illness, suppressing your emotions or concerns certainly won't improve the situation. -
I strongly disagree.
Some people (like me) are extremely sensitive. And I let my emotions out easily. Someone could get upset they got called fat. I don't throw pity parties anymore. I cry by myself. I got used to people complaining alot.
It's unhealthy to keep your emotions bottled up. My dead grandpa did that and he constantly got migranes and felt sick. (There still not sure why that happened but that's what they suspected) -
I believe that socializing is part of being human. We are social animals after all. Also, talking about problems is the only way that some of them will get fixed. So while whining about your social problems and personal problems wont do anything but put others down with you, complaining about public issues can save lives. And being completely emotionless is a form of insanity while being full of nothing but emotion causes hippies. Find a happy middle ground.
