Complaining, by definition, is a useless activity. I'd rather sacrifice something I'd never need to do. If I have a legitimate problem, I can alert others to my plight without complaining.
"Excuse me, I'm burning alive. Please render assistance. Thank you."
Okay, Mandi and projects, there is a difference between complaining and actually giving someone information. "Hey, my stomach is hurting, do you have advil?" is not a complaint. It is a request. For advil. Complaining is "Ughhhh my stomach hurts. Drop everything you're doing and give me advil." So if you were in a medical emergency, you could just make someone aware of that. Now, I think people would like me a lot better if I didn't go around bitching at them all the time and I simply gave them wonderful comments about how that new skirt they got makes them look thinner.
yeah, it sucks to not be able to compliment. But if you're not able to complain, you'll most likely end up living your life other people's way. You won't be able to say, no, this is not how i want it.

What if you need to complain that your stomach hurts, because of something like appendicitis?

I think that still falls under complaining. Plus, when someone is a moron, I feel that I need to let them know how stupid they are.

@Mandi, I'd presume that there's a difference between saying that your stomach hurts, and complaining about it. One's a fact. One is whining.

I sure do complain a lot... but not being able to ever compliment anyone again would just be terrible and cruel for me.

I'm english, so I can't compliment anything without stumbling anyway
