Are You A Moaner ? Are You Vocal ?

[flump1]

Hah, got your attention now. My family (bless em ) are very vocal about all their aches and pains , while I am a suffer in silence type. If I were to be as vocal as the rest of them it would be a continual wail coming from our house ! Now, shall I tell them to man up ? Or shall I begin wailing ?

[China Doll]

Have a wail! ;-)

I'm a bit of a moaner I think although I try not to be too irritating when I'm poorly as man hostage quite stoic.

When anyone met my granny for the first time and asked her how she was, she'd tell them everything that was wrong with her. It was embarrassing.
Don't tell your family members to man up, just indulge them and keep on as you are.

Who would listen?

[woofgang]

neither, we are all different.

I don't think I am a moaner but then again I don't have that much to moan about.
I have a friend whose main topic of conversation is her health and it drives me mad. She has had every minor ailment known to man and will tell me every word the doctor says .
I am not being uncaring but as far as I can see she does not have a problem with anything as she goes out shopping every day.
Her favourite saying is " I don't go to the doctors much "

Hi, Flump....I have two friends who moan about everything...all the time is seems.

With one it was a new thing when she became unhappy with a situation in her life...of her own making but did nothing to rectify it so what did I do?

I invited her away on a holiday thinking it would be out of the situation and relax and cheer her. That was when I realised she was...in a weird way... enjoying being the martyr and by the end of the holiday I was suicidal.

Lol lovely answers. I used to go shopping with my ' dis-abled' friend at a large supermarket. She was always going on about her back and legs, and yet she would take off like a whippet and I wouldn't be able to keep up with her. As has been said, good job we are all different. I leaned young that if I hollered it gave doctors free rein to investigate prod and poke. !

I had a sil on the phone for 45mins telling me about her sore knee ?

I have about 150 Yoga attenders and I have heard more moans and groans about their different problems than I've had hot dinners, but to be fair it's a certain percentage and outside Yoga I have one or two friends that you just don't ask 'How are you'? But everyone is different I guess I couldn't be doing with constantly talking about my health - but then I am very lucky.

Some people are just born hypochondriacs

The rest of us just get on with it without feeling the need to whinge about every single minor ache and pain we may have
