Whinge and complain to them about the wider state of affairs, about important world events and my displeasure therein.
-
I'm not partaking in boohoos and crybabying tonight.
-
Just tell them they are like an onion. As you peel of each layer another moan comes out causing more crying.... Then threaten them with a slicer!!!
-
I tend to avoid them if I can. In the past I would try to bring up positive aspects of whatever it was they were whining about. Unfortunately, some people simply cannot help themselves.
-
be positive to them .. they will get tired of themselves ( believe me, it works)
-
if i have to be around them i do as much possitive stuff and am as happy as i can be
-
I quit hanging around them. If that isn't a possibility, 'd tell them how they sound... better yet, video them. They would probably die if they knew how awful they sounded!
-
You need to tell them that in order for your friendship to continue,they'll need to get some help and you need to mean it - - Their stealing your energy if you don't get away from them
-
Mock them unrelentlessly. It's fun for you and payback to them.
-
Remove them from your life if you can. If you cannot then start bringing up the benefits of anti-depressants every single time they moan. They may take the hint. This ended up working on my very moany friend. She may still whinge on the inside but she at least keeps her negativity to a minimum around me. It's just attention seeking in many people.
-
By telling to stop being like that because no good comes to those who are negative. Than I'd explicitly by happy and positive all the time so that it hopefully rubs off on them and they get annoyed the hell out of! and have no choice but to adopt the policy of: If you can't beat them, than join them! in other words they would have to be positive. Awwww wouldn't that be perfect!
-
I have to focus on being totally positve and cheerful in hopes that some of it will rub off. At least it will annoy them enough so that they stay away <s..
-
A great response from the movie, Flawless, "Oh poor me, poor me, POUR ME ANOTHER!"
-
I constantly interupt them and play loud music etc.
-
Ignoring that person is the only way out.
-
Tell them to go back to England! LOL
-
I try to stay away from people like that.
-
I have a friend like that. I can't stand talking to her for more than just a few minutes at a time...she's always telling me how I ought to live my life/what I'm doing wrong with my life/etc/etc/etc. GR!
-
I can't. I have to deal with that now though. I try to be as polite as I can, but when he just keeps on going I get sour. It shuts him up, but I leave each day regretting that I wasn't the bigger person..
-
i seperate myself emotionally and physically from them! it's a different story if someone i've already known for a while becomes that way - i guess i would try to help them and if that failed then i would suggest professional help. sometimes a reality check is all a friend needs. i am a good friend and a good person though - if someone was in need of help, i would help them and do the best i could before i decided to leave the situation - relationship - and or friendship.
-
Tell them: "YOU ARE SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF ME!" Then get away from them. It's is a drain on you, and bad for your health.
-
If at all possible I avoid them..if I can't avoid them, I try to ignore them...if I can't do that I just tell them to shut up or ask them if they would like some cheese with that whine
-
tell them i have my own problems, get away from me.
-
Ignore them.
