[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I’m seeing are some really unhappy people on this board. Self-pity just leads to unhappiness, none of my friends complain - if we need support in something it’s in active tense “I could use help here”. Y’all are really weird and sad.

OP, I’m with you. I enjoy it and don’t find it that troublesome (pregnant with my second). [/quote]

I think it’s overly simplistic to categorize people as happy or unhappy, struggling or succeeding. People’s lived experiences are complex and usually include all of these things. If your partner comes home from work and just wants to confide in you that they had a stressful day at a job they otherwise love, it is not empathetic to say “well, then you must be an unhappy person, stop complaining, you are lucky to be working”.

You may not be able to understand that a person can be both happy and tired, but I am not surprised your friends do not communicate any vulnerabilities or insecurities to you. Yours is a judgmental and narrow minded view to have.  [/quote]

Lol nope, think I - and the circle I surround myself in - are just happier humans. There are plenty of things I struggle with or stress me out (though my kids usually aren’t it). And if I need to talk about it I talk about solutions. What in the actual F is complaining about anything going to get? Again, odd and sad. You do you. And read a self-help book. [/quote]
