took a break from seeing her. then she seemed to have calmed down.. or at least found someone else to whine to.

I take a friend vacation. Distance a little. Some people are just permanently in victim mode. It's an affectation and not a pleasant one.
-
Yes. I just let her whine and complain because she also does the same thing for me when I whine and complain myself.

Start whining and complaining back about ridiculous frivolous things.Then they might realize how they must sound to you.

I told them to man-up and accept reality. Life is not fair but you make the best of your situation.

Yes and it was about other people. I just changed my attitude enough where I showed I wasn't interested in what they had to say and they eventually got the hint. Other times, with friends I really cared about and they were complaining in general, I would point it out in a joking type way.

I just told her point blank that I would be a sounding bag for her complaints but i had a limit to how many times I could listen to the same old story. She realized her folly. If she persists and I think she just Has to vent of that steam I let her talk but I shut myself off.

I told her nicely that i have to go.
