[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about a compassionate response that acknowledges a fellow human being's unhappiness? I say things like, "I'm so sorry you've had such a rough time of it." [/quote] This is a great response for the occasional complainer or for valid complaints. like Op i have a family member how complains non stop about everything. You can only commiserate so much. I do a combination of validating...then moving on to asking what they want to do about it.to changing the topic...to leaving/hanging up. Also if they start in on the same complaint I remind them they told me already and ask if there is a new aspect to it? Occasionally I use sarcasm and act like it is a catastrophe. It is exhausting.[/quote]
