Whiny?

[Cimarron]

Do you think you get whiny, or complain a lot, etc.? Do others say this about you?

No, no, and no. And this is not because I think it's wrong to express yourself, but many times, I see nothing concrete or good coming out of doing that except to spread a bad mood or get negative attention, which I would feel terrible spreading a bad mood to someone else for no real reason, and I personally am not a fan of negative attention. Instead, I try to work through things on my own and that sometimes takes time, and if I can't resolve it on my own after some time, I'll ask for help, but I try to be careful when I do this not to spread any negative energy if I can help it. I am, however, happy to take a bit of whining, complaining, from those who are very special to me, especially if I think I can help them. That is what friends are for, afterall.

If I'm doing something only because I'm obligated to and dislike the activity thoroughly, yes, I complain quite a bit.

I realize this halfway through the day and knock it off, but it does happen.

Edit: Note, this is always done in the form of sarcastic comments, lol.

No, I'm not whiny.

Oh come on, you mean it's just me? Okay, well I was just wondering.

Oh, I complain all the time about stuff...it's fun, but that's because it's always done in sarcasm. I really wouldn't even call it complaining...it's more like being vocal about something that annoys/irritates me in a funny, sarcastic way. People think it's hilarious when I go on rants about things because my rants are usually detailed and well-thought through -- like these ideas have been bottling up for ages until the final straw breaks and it all lets loose.

As for serious complaining I tend to choose my battles so to speak. I only do that if I'm in an argument with someone or feel very passionate about something...which is not very often at all. I try not to seriously complain about anything because I am usually a very "go with the flow" type of person.

I don't complain, because I find it serves no purpose. I solve my own problems and encourage others to solve their own as well.

I'm like this too. I complain about unimportant things of no consequence all the time, usually to start a conversation (or a rant ), but besides that, I don't complain at all. Not even a little; I always suck it up.

I don't whine but I do bitch, curse, and fuss. The thing is, I'm funny when I bitch, curse, and fuss, so whoever's listening is at first surprised and then starts chuckling and then I start chuckling and then I've had a good laugh and I can square my shoulders and do whatever it is that had me hatin' life there for a minute.

Whining doesn't get anything done. Sometimes I will brood alone but other than that, no.
