Tone them out and don't listen to them. They can be mentally draining so you just have to learn not to listen. If you feed into the chronic complaining and listen, you will become their sounding board if no one else will listen or sympathize with their current complaint. Life's too short to deal with so much negative energy!

Jackie--I think they need love. If you have the time, put your arm around that one and say, "I'm sorry things are so hard for you". I think love oils the squeaks and can go a long way. Perhaps they don't feel appreciated and most often are not, simply because they become a "pain in the neck". Happy people make a different sound and something is missing in a chronic complainer. I know it is hard, but try to understand and figure out what is behind the complaining.

I work in sales & cover for customer service, if not for chronic complainers I wouldn't have a job.
At home, I just don't listen or read the endless notes someone leaves me.

Usually people who love to complain also love to complain with someone. Stay upbeat and positive around these type of people. If they are complaining about something, give the optimistic point of view. Once they realize that they can't get you down, they will eventually stop.

Every morning you put on your shield. It could be a special necklace, or amulet to protect you from bad juju. Every night you take it off, and take the weight of the day off with it. You cannot change others, only yourself. So find a very symbolic way to say, "it's over, I'm done for the day, and it didn't eat my soul."
Also make sure you take care of yourself in other ways...treat yourself from time to time for the extra stress, and eat healthy and exercize. You deserve the best!!
