i wholeheartedly dislike the people who spend their life complaining about anything and everything they can think of. they seem perpetually in a bad mood and always so concerned and wrapped up in their own problems that they're rarely decent friends to the people who spend so much time trying to console them, make them feel better, hear them out etc... one thing after another, ti's complain complain complain and it's just so... ugh. i really just want them to stfu and smile and cheer up because alhumdulillah their lives aren't NEARLY as bad as they make it out to be and if they spent just a fraction of a second talking to anyone else about other peoples' problems, they'd realize that.

i realize that everyone has trials and things that are easy for one person are difficult for another and Allah swt has placed different burdens on each person, but more than anything, it's the complaining and supposed selfishness that just gets on my nerves so much. friendships and relationships work best when everyone gives and takes but lately it just seems like the world is made of takers so when you even TRY to give they just take everything. and i know it seems like i'm implying that i'm this awesome, completely altruistic person but that isn't true at ALL -- i'm just really sick of some people. especially when they're like this during ramadan. blah.

agreed. selfish ppl can be extremely draining and frustrating to deal with.
