Complaining as a substitute for conversation

noun

  1. the expression of dissatisfaction or annoyance about something.”his complaining has been a little bit annoying”

adjective

  1. expressing dissatisfaction or annoyance about something.”she apologized to the complaining crowd”

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.

T is for D-day

Hi Folks,

As you know I got rid of my TV (my Set Top Box), many months ago to prevent myself getting involved with the current government in the USA.

This is essential because last time (2016-2020) I was obsessed with what was happening in the USA…

…so much so it effected my mental health.

So, my actions are about keeping myself sane through the difficult years ahead.

I’ve Been To Bali Too 

Bali is Australia’s favorite holiday destination. Tens on thousand Australian’s go there every year.

But no-one ever says: “I’m going to Indonesia”.

So, when the Bali bombings happened in 2002 I was not one bit surprised.

88 Australians died!!! Yep. This really happened.

Bali is still very much a place where people take their holidays, but still, no-one ever says: “I off to Indonesia, for a holiday”.
