Funny... a post complaining about complaining. Nobody makes you read these posts, so don't read the ones you don't like and then you won't have to post a rant like this.

[kmt1973 92]

I get your point But I didn't see it as complaining, I seen it as maybe a reminder that what we are all going through isn't by far the worst and we have all become very self absorbed. I am on a computer now but am usually on the android app and by the time my phone loads the discussion its to late to just skip it. Then its just wasted on another complaint. It just seems like there is nothing good with anyone on here. I thought the lapband was the greatest thing that could happen to me as far as my health goes and its well worth the "little" things we have to go through. More people should dwell on that instead of all the minor things.

In my opinion, life is too short to dwell on the things that irritate us, and for you to write such a long post on this board about all the things on here that irritate you, maybe you should skip the board altogether.

This is a community for support and encouragement, therefore we should be supportive and encouraging, not bashing.

[kmt1973 92]

Maybe I should have made it shorter.

I am very supportive and encourage wherever I can. Sorry if I offended you personally.

[Toddy 758]

I'm never easily offended !

I had just had a conversation with my mom about our friends son and what they are going through than got on here to see how everyone was doing and the topics by some complaining about petty things just got to me.

Everyone has their own battles, and what someone is going through personally, is going to be important to them. I think you ought to get off your high horse.

[kmt1973 92]

First off, I'm scared of heights.

Second, You are right, everyone has their own battles. People eating certain things, rude comments and slight pain shouldn't be what gets people down. And if thats the worst thing in their life then they got it pretty good and should recognize that.

I'm glad that surgery was so painless for you. For some, it wasn't. And some people have had complications as well.

Telling everyone that they've got everything so easy/good doesn't do much, other than reflect poorly on you.

[running_scared 125]

There are always going to be people who have things better or worse than we do. I don't think that is an acceptable reason to dismiss people's feelings about their own situation though.

[kmt1973 92]

I am not talking about the people that have real issues. I am talking about the whiners. I recognize that some have gone through a very rough time. I feel bad for them and care. I think people dwell too much on petty things and let that rule their lives. I don't see how it reflects poorly on me to tell people straight that things aren't as bad as they think they are.

[kmt1973 92]

I can see how this is going to go in a bad direction, if there is a way for me to delete this topic please let me know. It was a rant that I should not have put on here and I am sorry that I did. This is what happens when the fingers work faster than the brain. It doesn't change how I feel, This just wasn't the time or the place.

for me personally there are people who are just negative in life in gerenal and no matter what they go thru it they will twist it to be negative and the same goes for positive people so if someone took offense the no big deal its either half full or half empty you choose how to take it someone else can not make you feel a certain way...I am just saying... I had a rough time but I choose to work thru it and move on not dwell or scare people with it my rough experience. Smile be happy your alive and working towards a healthier you!
