bla bla bla...I'm sooooooooooo depressed - not !

It amazes me how some people can continually wallow on & on in self pity and then for some reason choose to 'bless' us with it. I mean, perhaps it's theraputic for them. I certainly hope so. Maybe their therapist instructed them to do so. Hurry up with the cure will ya ? rolling on the floor laughing

Everyone has a bad day now & then, but I'd really HATE to be around someone like that long term. Can you imagine rolling out of bed to greet the morning every day and your life partner is whining about some trivial thing EVERY MORNING ! What a private hell !! One of the most valuable lessons I've learned in life is to surround yourself with positive upbeat creative fun-loving intelligent people. Trust me on this. If you do that, your life will be so much better !!! applause

Life is too damn short to waste most of it with ongoing laments. Instead, focus on all that you DO have and all that you can accomplish.
No matter what your situation, there are worse. Instead, focus on the positive and you'll get a lot more done, have more fun and likely live a lot longer. And believe me, the rest of us will appreciate it too ! applause

I agree 100%--sometimes people have to remember there are always those that are worse off and be thankful for what they have....thumbs up

Good blog. People who 'wallow in self pity' are about as sexy as a wet fart.

people who have not known intense pain always sit on judgement on those who CANT forget.
if you have been crippled emotionally you cry inside and words flow in the guise of tears in black and white print.
if you cannot understand atleast dont be unkind.
we all could use some understanding, some kindness.
all are not born fortunately positive. they try, and fail.
if that rankles, you need not read, just ignore them.
you, like us, have choices
we all do. thankyou very much!!!

Everyone has known pain & suffering.
Some dwell on it and continually lament, others move on.
Success in life is about conquering challenges.
Just about everyone who is successful has had challenges to conquer first. Carrying emotional pain holds people back. Learning from it and letting go of it is a path towards growth.

"people who have not known intense pain always sit on judgement on those who CANT forget."

You say this on a singles site where every life here has been touched by sorrow, pain, want and loneliness? Some deal with it by jacking themselves up and carrying on, others, by believing they hold a monopoly on pain and sorrow.

"if you have been crippled emotionally you cry inside and words flow in the guise of tears in black and white print."

Yes, been there, done that.

"if you cannot understand atleast dont be unkind."

Ever hear of 'tough love?" You give support when needed to help the person pick themselves up and carry on. Not make the bed of lonely sorrow more inviting.

"we all could use some understanding, some kindness."

I agree. However, knowing there is support and a place to express your pain with others who have experienced it and understand it does not mean it is a swimming pool of sorrow to wallow in for the rest of your life.

"all are not born fortunately positive. they try, and fail."

I know. I've failed most things but succeded after enough trying. Never give up, never surrender and never allow self pity to rule.

"if that rankles, you need not read, just ignore them.
you, like us, have choices
we all do. thankyou very much!!!"

We all have a time we need to vent or a shoulder to cry on,that is human.That being said,there are so many pleasures that so many miss because they are too deep into self-pity constantly.I am a volunteer crisis person so I have empathy and sympathy and I care about others.It is just when someone constantly complains about someone or thing and don't try to improve the situation.It can bring down those around the person.That type usually is also selfish when it comes to spending time talking about anything else or your problems.Positive thoughts lead to positive possibilities.The last time you try is the only time you fail.Tommorow is a new day.I personally try to live these words.Laughter can be good medicene it has been proven.Okay jmo
