So true! Like you, I’m usually a solution oriented thinker. Of course I have the odd unproductive whine too, but mostly I like to whine then get on with things, and am easily frustrated by people who fall more into the rumination side. Like if someone’s complained to me about the same thing more than once, my emotional support offering is this facial expression workflow: 🤨😒😠🙄 … not exactly nice, lol!

However I must add I used to be a real complainer too. I had a negative mindset most of the time and the “why me” attitude towards everything, feeling powerless to change anything. It’s the way I was raised. So thankful I was able to get out of that spiral!

My philosophy is as long as someone is trying to change a situation by taking some sort of action, then they can complain about it along the way, haha. 😊

Great blog today! I'm sorry about the flu thing it seems to be everywhere there!

Had a few causes to complain here in Brittany, mainly about Google's inaccuracy if information with respect to opening times of places such as restaurants, bars and community spaces. I suppose it's only as good as it's contributors. It's a full time job!
