stop whining

I really want to stop doing this. It annoys me, my family, and my pets. I have noticed that i usually whine when im frustrated, like if I get 89% in a class(so close to an A)or if i choke something, like if i miss a note at the very end of a song on Guitar Hero. Do you guys have any tips?

The problem is, I don’t even realize when I’m doing it. I’m trying to be hyper-conscious. I just don’t know where the line between stating a problem (if someone asks, I usually don’t bring it up out of the blue) and whining about something. I know it’s annoying, and I make fun of myself to my close friends when I realize that I’m doing it. I’m just a perfectionist and so it’s easier for me to nit-pick at what’s wrong with my life than to see what’s good. That’s my problem, I suppose. I just need to sit down and focus on the things that are good, or even ‘not bad.’ I’ve noticed that I do it more, since I have a new-ish friend who has made some sarcastic comments about it, and this is what has promted me to really focus on changing. I don’t want to be off-putting to people with whom I haven’t been friends since I was a little kid. I know it’s not an attractive personality trait.

(Was that whiny? probably. Sorry.)

i am too busy being boring to be clever or witty.

yes, please. I know it annoys people, and I don’t wanna be an annoying person. so.

whining…seriously so annoying. I don’t hearing people whine and I’m sure they feel the same. In the end does it ever really change things, and even if it did I’m sure I can get it without sounding like a child.

I actually asked a friend to keep me accountable to this. It will be an ongoing goal obviously, and she is going to help me take it one day at a time. I figured if I have someone pointing out every time I complain or whine about something that I might stop. So…we will see how that goes.

I had started this whole whining thing and I had never had a problem with it before…. I guess I can say that I’m doing so much better and I’m happy that I am!!

Lately I don’t feel too much like whining. Even when I talk about being here and the job, it is far more dispassionate. If there are things I don’t like, I will silently put them on my mental “con” list and consider them when the time comes. And I am doing an excellent job lately of staying positive, looking forward more, and making sure I take advantage of what life has to offer now, rather than concentrate on what I don’t have.

What always helps with this is if I am keeping physical pain under control. One would think that this would make me more disciplined about PT, but it doesn’t necessarily.

OK.. I just spent 10 minutes bitching with my roommate about having to get in by 8 everyday. It doesn’t help with anything.

I’ll try to go to bed earlier (yet another 43T) and be more efficient to get out of work earlier.

So I had never had a problem before with whining. All the sudden over the past few months I just have gotten awful. I actually whine. Not just tell people my problems but if I dont get my way or if something isnt going right I just whine about it. As if that will make it all better. My friends are going to have to tell me every time I whine now so that I’m concious of it. I mean I already am because it is annoying the crap out of me and everyone else, but wish me luck!!
