to think that eeyore type people should really be given something to moan about!!!

[stoppinattwo]

Im not talking your occasional glass is half empty type person...

im talking about the person who is always sick/going through some sort of crisis/angry about something/ they are seriously oppressed and there is some conspiricy against them!!!!

You havent spoke to them for a little while and about 10 seconds after you spark up a catch up conversation you realise why

Some people seriously need an insight into how bad life can really get and please try and cheer up..........

lol am not a very tolerent person today am I

Yep, I know an Eeyore. She veers between Eeyore-ness which I can just about manage, and total Vampire when she ramps it up a notch and becomes truly energy draining. Then it's time to be suddenly inexplicably busy.

YANBU.
My BIL's ex is like this: how everyone is always out to get her, how she has no friends, how she hates her job.
She likes to make out she's a meek and mild type (and some people are sucked in ny it)and then you hear her bitching about overweight people (she's REALLY skinny-eating disorder issues, I think)
and you think, there'a nothing soft about you, girl!

That is pretty crap sweet. What a horrible, thoughtless thing to do.

My mum is like that. She also does things like phone me and say 'I am really worried about your sister. She hasnt been well. She is really poorly' My sister has had cancer. We all worry about her, I would anyway but it gives you that extra anxiety. I lost my daughter to cancer three years ago too so I am a bit fragile when it comes to illness.

ANyway after all my mums says I ring my sister all scared. Sister says 'no, I am fine. Just had a cold.'

Takes me about a day to calm down.

I HATE it when she does that. No one is every a bit poorly. They are always really ill. I know what she is like but it still gets to me.

That's what I mean chegirl, who the hell has a few symptoms, googles them, then phones up her daughter and says "I am not sleeping through worry, I put my symptoms into the internet and it says I could have cancer" I mean FFS you could say that about anything "headache = brain cancer" then tell everyone you have had a cancer scare but it is all over.

[chegirl]

I bloody hate that 'cancer scare' thing. Its on the z list celeb check list

Eating disorder - check
Drug problem - check
Abusive childhood - check
Spell in the Priory - check
Infertility - check
Problem pregnancy - check
PND - check
Cancer scare - check

drives me farking made. You just know that 'cancer scare' means some vacuous nobody getting a bit pissed and thinking 'OMG though it would be well scarey if I ever got the cancer'.

Then its all over OK magazine.

[sweetkitty]

My mother is like this as well, haven't spoken to her this year as I will not phone her anymore and she doesn't phone me so bit of a stale mate, I so don't miss her phonecalls.

She always has something wrong with her, most weekends she has a hangover food poisoning and once she googled her symptoms and told everyone she was having a cancer scare. She just moans about everything and nothing and tries to bring you down with it.

Also have a friend a bit like this, she is never happy, always moaning and trying to bring you down

[bigchris]

how old are you? you look young in your pic

[giraffesCantRunA10k]

omfg OUCH at your leg!

[giraffesCantRunA10k]

I know someone like that - and she always manages at leats once a day to say "I mean I am a really positive person..." I am not sure if she is truley deluded or if it is some sort of self help mantra she says to change her ways...

[bigchris]

I'm sorry but the poster who said about hiding in her understairs cupboard made me rofl

[psychomum5]

look at my profile, and then make a desision.

yes, it hurts.

a lot!!

[stoppinattwo]

lol.....those pesky moles.....

does it hurt?? DD has on on her hairline on the back of her neck that is lumpy and i did wonder about asking the doctor her opinion about removing it?

[psychomum5]

I am the one with the leg amputation mole being cut out BTW

[stoppinattwo]

Riven there is a difference...I hvae friends who have been in similar situations to yours...and indeed a very good friend who lost a child , I have a friend with ME and...now that is a tough one to keep the sympathy up with but I knew her for years before her illness and it really floored her

psychomum puts it perfectly "it is the ones who instead of having a sniffle, they have a full blown cold, instead of a full-blown cold, they have pnuemonia, instead of pnuemonia, they have swine flu............instead of having a mole cut out, their whole leg got amputated "

I have all the time in the world for those who are truly suffering.......I have had my fair share myself and my friends have been there for me....it is the attention seeking hypochondriacs im on about

[alisha29]

hmm you are right might just do that

[LadyAga]

Are you talking about someone from Birmingham?

(ducks for cover)

[psychomum5]

need to change your name then, to celebrate that fact

[alisha29]

psychomum that is me who you are describing so well i love moaning!

[psychomum5]

ah but riven, we are not talking at all about someone who really does need to offload, as you I know from on here, offload as well as listen and give advice.

the moaning minnies are the ones who go on and on and on about themselves, how poor they are (when they don;t actually understand the meaning of the word), how cold it always is, how gray the sky is each day, how rude the customer service lady was when she didn;t acknowledge you waiting in the queue five back from the desk (altho they couldn;t cos they couldn;t see you due to the many people in front) etc etc.

oh, and when you do start saying about how stressful yesterday was because you had to speak to the paed about your DD, they then just cut you off and launch into how bad it was for them, last year, when they tried to get an appointment urgently about a broken nail, that was hanging off, and they were going on holiday that day and no-one listened blah blah blah.

THAT is a moaning minnie!!!

[alisha29]

op your moaning
