[quote=Anonymous]I think that, generally, when someone is regularly complaining about their life a good response is to ask them, with compassion and genuine curiosity, "What are you going to do to change/fix this situation?" It can help break out of the cycle of complaining and focus them on making proactive changes. Or, if they really just want to complain, it forces them to confront the fact that they actually don't want to change things, they just want to gripe. It might also bring to the surface ways that you might actually be able to help. [/quote]
