STOP WHINING!!!


NrrdGrrl! Discussion Forum: Just Plain Talk: STOP WHINING!!!

For the love of GOD, this is my first trip to this web site and I have to say there is WAY too much whining going on. Grow up, get a grip and face life like a women not a child. Life is hard, life is full of challenges, accept it. There are way too many victims in this world. It seems to me that most people lose perspective. Everyone thinks their life is so terrible because their boyfriend is a jerk, the GAP isn't having a sale, their hair is not big enough.....why don't you realize that if your living in this country and you have the luxury of owning a computer than you are doing better than most people and their is something worse that not having 45 pair of black shoes. I am really disappointed with the topics of discussion (if you can stretch you definition of "discussion" far enough to include these mindless bitch sessions) I have found here.

I think many of us are aware that someone has it worse than us, but that doesn't mean we don't have any problems. And personally I don't see how merely stating your opinion about something is whining, but that's just me.

I hate it when people try and pretend their problems aren`t as important as their`s or someoen elses. We have a right to our probelms! don`t try and make people feel guilty for being upset. People`sproblems are no less real jsut because they may have a lot of moeny, or a coputer or whatever. You can`t know someone elses life until you become them,and since that isn`t exactly possible,well i think you should satop judging. Seriously, your life may be really hard,and you`re dealign with it, well good for you! But talking about problems with your friends ( on the net and in real life) is also a healthy way to deal with everything.

Sure not all the disscussions here are exactly that deep but some are, and some deal with some very disturbing issues.
As far as i am concerned little to no whinning goes on here. We are expressing our feelings and opinions in a healthy way - by talking/writing about it. Most can accept that life is tough and unfair, but does that mean that we cannot talk about it? i have never been one to just sweep stuff under the rug. So when you think i am complaining - i am talking about my feelings instead of bottling them up inside and developing a hard outer shell that shows no emtion.

I agree with keely! anonymous, you're being way too harsh. why should we hold it all in and be miserable because someone in another country is starving. these topics we talk about aren't all whining. although some might not seem "deep", like keely said, there are many that are very importan.

In short, anonymous, thank you for your oppinion, but if the only thing you can say is negative, then no thanks.

Did it ever occur to you that you were just whining about *us* whining? If you really aren`t pleased with the topics of discussion here, then why didn`t you just leave?
I don`t mean to sound rude, but I strongly disagree with your views. Everybody needs a good moan now and again- be it about the lousy weather, their brattish sibling, or their abusive father. Just because a problem doesn`t sound big to you doesn`t mean it doesn`t seem painful to someone else.
People deal with things in different ways; some, like you, prefer to battle on gallantly without ever breaking down. I`ve gotta say, this is admirable. But the majority of people need to talk over their problems, and having a good old moan usually makes you feel a *whole* lot better.
You`re entitled to your opinion, just as we`re entitled to ours- and if you don`t like that then I suggest you find a place where nobody moans, or needs help, or ever gets just a teensy bit shallow.
How about The Land of Make-Believe?

i don't care if it comes off as whining, i'm just glad that there's a place in today's harsh society where anyone can say what's on their mind, and what is bothering them... Without the fear of people using it against them or knowing too much, and where people from all over the country and globe can help and offer what they think. there are soo many benefits to the Net that i don't care if some people CAN'T shuddup.

I was going to write excatly the same as you did anonymous as i feel tht ll there is on here iis mons moans and more moans! I sick of it!


By Shampoo on Thursday, July 2, 1998 - 06:33 pm:

Here's an idea: if you don't like it, then what the hell are you doing here?


By Lady_die on Wednesday, July 8, 1998 - 09:03 am:

Just because the situation in other counrties is worse,doesn't mean that you have to close your eyes for the situation in your own countries.
And possessions aren't everything. Maybe we have a computer,maybe we have 20 pairs of shoes, that doesn't mean your happy.
And although it's a materialistic world, people still suffer. There are many different people on this board. Some once addicted, some once in prison, some raped.........
And talking with strangers about problems you couldn't discus with you friends is a great way of dealing with your porblems.

Right on Keely!

If we can't whine here then where can we whine? If you don't like it then why stay? And as a matter of fact, arn't you the one whining about us whining? Ah ha. It's a wierd mind blowing world.


By Webmistress on Sunday, July 12, 1998 - 04:36 pm:

Uhm, where's the whining? If you cannot come up with evidence, shut the fuck up. QED.
