Do People Complain Too Much?

"We are born crying, live complaining and die disappointed." - Thomas Fuller
He barely started his day and he is already complaining because he claims it is too early. He needs to stop complaining and get ready for school.

The average person has 48,000 negative thoughts per day. He is probably on his 10,000th negative thought because he simply can't  find something to wear.

Complaints allow a speaker to get something off their chest. He is now beeping at everyone because traffic is moving very slow. As he beeps at every car, he is also using inappropriate vocabulary.

Keep calm and stop complaining about the weather. However, he can't keep calm, he hates this weather! That ruined his day.
 
Complaining can lead to anger, depression, and rumination. After school, he is now swamped with tons of homework. He is too busy complaining instead of starting his homework and getting it done.

Thirty minutes of negativity kills brain neurons that helps a person think and problem solve. Brain neurons decrease rapidly if a person is constantly complaining.

Complaining can build motivation, but it keeps the focus on the problem rather than on potential solutions. He is complaining about this bad stock instead of selling the stock for a small sum of money and purchasing a stock that will grow and increase.

As he read the newspaper, he came across an editorial that caused him to continue complaining about his day. Throughout time, negativity becomes normal and he no longer is optimistic. Unless, he calls an end to all negativity and complaining.

"Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining - it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn't solve any problems."- Zig Ziglar
One of his good buddies cancelled on their dinner plans tonight. He becomes furious because his buddy did not give him an explanation on why he cancelled dinner plans. He is now all alone.

Another day passes, and complaining increases just by the day. Prepare for another day of negativity tomorrow!
