Cmere duke.

["couldbecousin"]

Everyone does it Duke. The difference is, others tend to prevent it fom being just about everything that comes out of their mouth. EVERYONE has problems, not just you. Its alright to have occasional pity parties, but goddamn. Every time I see you, you're bitching and moaning. Harden up.

 I applaud you for trying but I really don't know what you're going accomplish , he's just too stubborn to change , tis a shame really. 

I think he will change, most people do. At least we're not getting any more 50-point BALLS OF CARBONITE^TM  posts!

SHHHH!!! He'll start it again otherwise    :lol:

Yeah, maybe. 

Eh , you're a good guy (as much as you hate to admit it  ) and I do admire how you keep trying but honestly I would have given up ages ago.

Unfortunately, Pent, like a few here, thinks we all were beamed into the world from a golden orb, and ever since, it's been pretty much smooth sailing.

I tend to think the compulsive moaners now, are actually the ones who have had it easiest.

I NEVER give up, Squidster!

And I loled, Eclair. I think I get your drift.

I agree.

(Emo moan moment   )  Personally I think , that those who moan haven't had it as hard as they think , they percieve it to be hard and difficult due to struggling , I personally have had battles with depression , school , eating disorders etc etc in the last few years , and in a way I'm glad I have , It's made me stronger and helped me grow a thicker skin.

It's also taught me to shut it and keep my problems to myself , there is a time and a place for venting and whining , public forums 24/7 are NEITHER of those two.  

I NEVER give up, Squidster!

I hadn't noticed

I get that sometimes it IS overwhelming and sometimes talking 'into the air' here, whether you get a response or not helps. Just to get it off your chest.

But, for some, moaning just comes so easily, that it must have been part of what people 'did' around them growing up to get attention...just my observation. Therefore, they think by doing the same, they will get attention, negative or otherwise.

I have no problem with people letting off steam here , we all have stresses in our life that we need to release but the rate that Penty does it not only is it unhealthy , it's also irritating beyone belief  :lol:

Exactly.

I think that is true in some circumstances. I am fortunate enough to have been healthy all my life, so because I have little experience of
pain or sickness, I tolerate them poorly when they do occur, whereas my friends and family members who deal every day  with chronic
pain and sickness are much more stoic, and bitch less than I do though they have much more reason.

Do you want me to just suffer in silence?

For fuck's sake - YES

I don't mind anyone's venting, what bothers me is the futility (IRL as well as online) of trying to help people
who obviously are deeply distressed but seem determined to dismiss all advice without even considering it.

Thanks, I have had the frustrating experience of knowing a few people like this, and while it's absolutely their right to reject advice
and leave their problems unsolved, being near them is like being near a drowning person who is struggling to stay above water
but refuses to grab a lifeline, and basically just wants someone to keep him company while he drowns.
