How to deal with a friend who complains non stop?
Anonymous 275299
I try to steer them. "Hey that's pretty depressing. Tell me 3 nice things that happened to you this week to balance it out." And you do that nearly every time they complain so maaaaaybe they'll get the hint. It's a little rude and clumsy but your friend is being a little rude by being a downer. As someone who used to try to make conversation by complaining, I can say that I was never called out on it. Some people are just oblivious.
