Think about what the goal of your complaining is. Are you looking for solutions? Look up YouTube videos about why complaining is toxic. If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all most times. It’s okay every once in a while, but think about if it’s really helping you or others. My ex boyfriend would complain alll the time and I hated it. Every day he would call me while driving and just complain about traffic the whole time. It was honestly infuriating as I could not stand his road rage and hated that he would call me and every other sentence was him complaining about work or traffic. He viewed it as necessary venting but I disagree. It’s like he would look for things to complain about and just dump it on me and everyone. His best friend on the other hand was very similar and they would talk hours a day complain and griping about everything and scream at the top of their lungs together.

My current boyfriend makes me much happier and rarely complains. He is super positive and uplifting and always looks on the bright side. He’s adorable. I think it’s wise to not complain.
