GROW UP would be where I start.

How do you come up with such easy conclusions so fast about anyone? Things can get pretty complicated, and are often not as we perceive them. I usually just humour them. I know it's not the best or most compassionate thing to do, but I can't even deal with my own crap, so the hell with anybody else's. If they're willing to talk and lay a problem on me, then I'm all ears and help if I can be, even if I barely know them. But facades and pretences be damned, unfortunately I don't have the time or patience to deal with this.

You just have to tolerate them as much as you can.
-
keep as busy as possible - let them know you have your own life going on, maybe agree to set a time, on a regular basis, where they can off-load, you can listen, and then get back to your own stuff?

I'd just tell the person to shut the hell up. Pitch a fit somewhere else.
-
Ignore them, it usually pisses them off enough to avoid you instead.
-
tell them you think they are behaving like a spoiled brat - at least you get it off your chest - they will probably avoid you - then let it go
-
If they're an adult, chances are they won't change. Just live your life according to your rules and tolerate them. My mom is the same and I learned to live with it.
-
You don't - you completely avoid them. If they keep calling you or whatever, you tell them that they are acting like a spoiled child & until they can act like someone that people actually WANT to be around you will have nothing to do with them.

Is somebody trolling you? I know how it feels too. +

Did you meet my husband? I usually fright with him. I don;t know why I just do. I can't stand his whining.

I try to teach them meditation and Yoga. It worked for many persons.
