Dec 5, 2008 - People who complain have a tendency to like complaining and not doing something about it. Stop complaining and do something. I agree with you Aaron.

Dec 5, 2008 - That should be "Hear", of course.Okay, here's another:"Oh, I sympathize. Oh wait, no, I'm chopping onions."

Dec 5, 2008 - There's a difference between complaining and making honest statements regarding taste. Complaining refers to negativity, commenting is neutral and can get your point across all the same.If your grandmother made something you didn't like you could say "This food doesn't agree with my taste, so I don't like it, but thank you for making it nonetheless". That's not complaining but making a simple statement.

Dec 5, 2008 - I agree mostly. I think the tone of a complaint needs to be examined. Are they trying to remedy a situation or complain for the sake of complaining? Also sometimes people are not realistic in their complaints, so it is impossible for anyone to fix the problem and they can play a victim as long as they want.

Dec 5, 2008 - Complaining is "To express feelings of pain, dissatisfaction, or resentment." Therefore, while your statement might be a lot nicer of a way to put something ... It still is complaining. Also, saying "I don't like it" at all would be conveying a negative statement ... even if we are polite about it. There is nothing wrong with negative statements in and of themselves. They can be horrible, but not necessarily.

Dec 5, 2008 - If you're telling your brother not to do something because you don't like it, why is it an act of intimidation on his part to stand his ground? You live in a very funny world Aaron.

Dec 5, 2008 - Did I say something that made you get the impression that that was what I said? It is not intimidation to "stand his ground" ... however, it is if he degrades my ideas. By saying I complain to much ... he is just trying to shame me into submission. However, if he thinks I am being overly sensitive we can talk about it in a rational and friendly way.

Dec 5, 2008 - Generally agree. But making excuses is not good when the excuse is made, ie a confabulation. Understanding behavioral pathology is great though and sorting the associative relationships is great as long as their real. ;-)
