Literally everywhere I go women are complaining (telling a story about what someone said or did).
This is very widespread and endemic.
Complaining reinforces victimhood…and victimhood as an identity is very harmful to one’s psyche and self-worth and self-esteem. Believe me I know as I lived as a victim for many years.
Yes. Women have had centuries of abuse and mistreatment. This stuff is very real and long lasting. The only way out is to stop complaining.
Yes. If you have a problem, ask me if you want to share it with me.
Maybe I can help but telling me a story about what someone did or said is not helping either of us.
Men do complain too but not nearly as much as women do.
I’m also writing this post to help me remember to not complain…as it does’t help me.

I know I’m guilty.
Me too. Getting better though
Not just women. I know men who only complain. I think they forgot what a real conversation is.
Yes. Men do it too….
I have to work on that with myself, I don’t complain to others but to myself. If that makes sense. 🙂
Yes. I do that too.
I call that practice ruminating.
This is such a great post Gavin. I fully agree with you. Unlike other women I rarely talk to anyone about how I feel or what happened to me. I dont trust anyone except a few people in my life. It feels safer this way. I find people like this really draining to be around too. What you say is very true. Men complain less but they still feel just as much as women
I’ve seen some women be very articulate in their complaining. This gets my attention on public transport. It’s on another level of clever complaining. G
In the UK I reckon more people are moany than here…its like a national sport there, everything is a moan haha 🤣
Yeah I know what you mean. I find these people who do this on public transport really annoying…its like they need a public audience for it and it cringes me so hard!
