Instead of just dealing with it and getting on with life, they say things like "Oh my back is killing me" or "I have a terrible headache." You know the sort, you dare not say to them "Hello, how are you" because all you will get is a case history of all their trouble and pains. Often you know full well that you may be in even more pain than them but you keep it to your self. Pain is an unwanted state of mind. I find that if I acknowledge it to myself or other people it just hurts more because I concentrate on it instead of putting it out of my mind. Sorry to waffle, but what about you guys?

The only good thing about pain is that it reminds you that you're alive!!

I don't want to sound like I'm complaining about my aches and pains but I agree with you 100 percent. I have chronic pain and pain doctor and all that and I will rarely discuss it with anyone because everyone around me is in pain also! I will be trying to block it out of my mind and BAM here comes someone else in pain. Come On nobody really cares about the pain because they aren't feeling it. Yep too much history.

Know exactly what you mean, we have two people on our street that everyone avoids because the first thing they say to you is oh my lumbago or oh my leg, not lovely day or how are you, I have been in constant pain for 14 years due to a serious accident I had but I never complain about it to anyone I just get on with things, the funny thing is though if I do occasionally tell people what happened to me they go 'oh but you don't look like your in pain and you never say you are', just makes me laugh, life is for living with pain or not and the best thing to do is to get on with life and forget the pains.

I hate. I work a woman who has fibromyalgia and every time someone asks her how she is doing she goes through a whole list of problems. What really suck is that we work in a call center so people are constanly asking her how she is doing. At least 15 times a day I have to hear all about her aches and pains. If she was a horse i'd shoot her to put her out of her misery!

Your absolutely right....don't feel guilty about waffleing....I have one here at work that every time you say "How are you?" she goes through of all her aches and pains, family troubles, etc. You try to give them advice and they completely ignore you. What irritates me even more is they keep doing the same things that are causing their misery, pain, depression and do nothing to help themselves!! These people just want to complain and be miserable.....do something about it and don't keep focusing in on your miserable state of body and mind....

This drives me up the wall. There's a certain self-absorbed personality that can't shut up about every day aches and pains. They'll go on for a half hour about a cold sore or how their hand gets numb from playing video games all day. Horrors!

yes it does irritate me. fair enough if its a loved one, but if its a friend who rings up or you see once in a while its just annoying. everybody has troubles, worse troubles usually than what they are complaining about. some people just like to complain for sympathy i think or because they think they are really worse off. thats the worst, i always think that they need a real problem to put all these little complaints into perspective. its not like complaining is going to help the matter.

Yes. I know someone who thinks I've got 'Tell me all your problems' written across my forehead. It's hard to be around her because she's always so negative. She knows I'm weary of her because I've told her so. But that hasn't stopped her.
And no, your not doing the same thing, your interpretation on how to deal with pain was positive. That's the difference.

i admire something that provides me a stable chortle, and cartoons and jokes approximately seniors do supply me a snicker. very usually I relate to them. it is so not person-friendly to humorous tale approximately any team presently. The "Politically impressive" police run in and censor you. possibly seniors are the final team approximately which you additionally could make jokes. in spite of each and every thing, we've been there and heard all of it - so a stable humorous tale does not upset us. We used to have some stable humor at right here. Sigh - wasn't it relaxing?

In a sense, you are doing the same thing right now. You think these people are a pain, and you're telling us about it! What's the difference? Everyone wants to talk about their problems, but no one ever wants to listen.
