In various places where I have lived, there has always been at least one person who moaned, whined and complained about everything in their life and under the sun.
a lot of times, these individuals are just looking for someone to listen to them, which is fine.
But in the same note, we are human and we do have our limits as to how much we can listen to.
My feeling on this is that if the person is not happy about something, then the only person who can effect change is the person who is whining and complaining!
And I have told people that if you don't like where you are living, then find a new apartment!
If you don't like your job, then you need to find a new job!
If you are not happy with your relationship, then you need to do what you need to do to make yourself happy in it and if that does not work, then you need to finish the relationship and discover a new one that will make you happy.
Bottom line: You are the only person who can make YOU happy. If you do not like something, then YOU need to do what you must do in order to effect change and make yourself happy.
You can both go jogging instead of talking.
Some people would just do like drain your emotions if you try to change them because they don't really need an advice. What they need is just someone who listens especially if their situation has no solution but a need for them to get used to and/or accept what life brings. When they are still complaining, they are still in the temporary adjusting period. It will pass.
Just give her the adequate attention she wants and don't think about her anymore. She will be okay.
I always have found that when you are struggling with telling someone something that may be hurtful, it helps to turn it around. You could say to her that you are grateful for the friend she has been to you but YOU feel you are somehow holding her back. It is time for you to allow her room to grow and although it saddens you, you know it will be best for the both of you. Make sure to thank her for what she has done for you, even if she hasn't actually done much for you. Make her feel positive (if that is possible) and convince her that you are distancing yourself because it would be better for her. You do need to "get rid of poison" in your life and people like this will suck the life right out of you. You have to have a strong personality to endure such individuals. They are selfish, needy, negative, and depressing. Sometimes they don't always realize what they are doing, but if you can distance yourself and instead, keep the company of individauls who are positive and happy and want to share their feelings just as much as they want to hear about yours, you might find that some personal "issues" you have may start to get better! I bet you have a lot to offer people. Give them a chance to get to know YOU before you decide you need to CHANGE something!



What's a nice way to say "I don't care"?
Basically, I have this friend- and she moans and complains about her life a lot.
Now I have tried to help her as much as I can, to most my mates I'm known as the Agony Aunt, simply because I can help people and give them advice and such. So I do try to...
help her, advise her, suggest alternatives, etc etc.
But oh my god. I'm sorry but she just won't quite complaining. She's like one of those 'emo' people you hear about. She even complains about the extremely small and almost insignificant things in her life too.
I've tried, but I'm tiring of her now. I'm tried hinting that I don't know the answers to everything, or saying stuff like 'hmm' to suggest I'm not particulary interested, but then she starts saying she's worried I'm going off her and becomming closer friends with other people.
Basically my question is, what is the nice way of saying, 'I don't care!'?
