Ever feel like...

[Moongaze]

You're the only one in the world who has any idea how to deal with your own problems?

Today I pretty much had to listen to other people complain about their problems... which aren't even problems at all, more like... pathetic little excuses to make a fuss and gain sympathy.  And I have no problem telling people to grow a pair, and I have done that because... I have senseless bickering and complaining.  If something is deeply troubling someone, and it is a serious problem I can sympathize, and will offer what I can to help.  But everyday complaining that people do drives me up a wall and I can't stand it.

With the exception of right now... I never complain.  I take everything for what it is, make the best of it and move on.

When life gives you lemons...

Make lemon juice, and spray it in peoples eyes?

Anyhow, I know the feeling. I also understand just letting it all out, even if its not that important.
AND, somethimes things you deem as minor, really mean a lot to other people. Its important to look at both sides.

[Moongaze]

You have a point.  It is good to let things out to alleviate stress, or something.  But when it crosses over the "just let it out" and into the full on rant rave, not leaving any room open for comment... that's when I get annoyed.

[Ares the Ram]

Boy oh boy did you just describe how I feel about people. People will complain about anything and everything. I dont complain because I learnt when I was a kid that doing so wouldnt get me anything cept a time out. How far we've come.

I broke my arm right at the end of October this year, and I didn't complain once.  I walked away... went to the hospital the next day and had a BLAST... I was cracking jokes every chance I could...  Oh it was great fun... 

[Aoren Deringer]

I'm sure the hospital staff was quite happy with you as well!
And probably suspecting that you broke into their morphine stores....

I was on the verge of making each one of them break the hypocratic oath

*Breaks Hippocratic oath*
MOON MUST DIE!!!!!

[Moongaze]

I did!

I was asking about other patients... I was peaking at xrays...  I was out of control!  They finally pulled the curtain and kept me isolated.

Please stay on topic.

I'm not really sure if my problems are trivial or not, but I know what you mean.

I don't mind if people complain over minor things as long as they don't complain too much.
For example, someone says "My head hurts so much" I don't mind but if they keep bringing it up over and over then that's when it gets annoying.

Yeah, something like the headache thing, and greater extents.

Alexei, your problems are something very serious.  I do not condone bullying in anyway shape and form, and it's something that NEEDS to be dealt with.

[Alexei]

Ugh, I know.

The worst part is that some teachers see it happen and do nothing.
