Should we complain to get what we want?

Pessimists tend to live longer because they’re disappointed less. 😀

Should we complain to get what we want? Does it get us what we want faster? Does it make getting it easier? Does it create a sense of understanding with people around you? Can it make you feel better? Does it make you a better person? Does it make you annoying?

I believe it’s a natural thing to complain. Go on ahead and try not to, it will cause you so much mental strain that you’ll get a migraine. You cannot live life without complaining, as there is so much to complain about, there is so much wrong with this world, and the minds of many are twisted so we have sick views of things, making it worse.

Can you get what you want faster when you complain? It’s quite possible if you’re annoying enough and people want to shut you up. You most likely won’t get what you envisioned, and you’ll be disappointed with it, resulting in more complaining. Does it make getting what we want easier? Sure, if you’re cool with it not living up to your expectations and with people being severely irritated with you.

There is a fine line between complaining a reasonable amount and complaining so much that people would love to slap you. If you so it reasonably, then I think that it DOES create a sense of understanding with those around you. Many people have similar problems, and can relate to you greatly. The thing is, there’s only so much people can do about YOUR problems. (This is why you might be disappointed after receiving what you want after complaining- nobody thinks what you think, so it won’t be exactly what you want) DO something about your problems, don’t expect other people to fix them for you.

Can it make you feel better? Yes, to an extent. People literally make a living listening to other people talk about their problems and then giving them their two cents. Venting is therapy, and getting it out is like dropping a big bag of bricks you’ve been carrying on your back.

As to complaining making you a better person, I think the answer is yes, but only in some cases. Technically, it’s not complaining, but it counts. Take hunger activists as an example. They are “complaining” about something very important to bring attention to it. They are making a difference, and making the world a better place by calling attention to those in need. They “complain” for a good cause.

Yes, complaining can make you very annoying. There is no doubt there. Let’s say your ENTIRE social media page is, “OMG I’m so lonely”, “Wish I had friends”, “Wish someone liked me”, and all that jazz. Shut up, go out in public and don’t be a jerk to people. Somebody will like you.

Complaining can get you what you want, give you what you don’t want, make people dislike you, can call attention to important matters, and many other things. Don’t complain to much, but speak what’s on your mind, & live life to the fullest.
