Something i noticed about the people that complain most about life

Yep, I unfortunately know someone who fits this very well, but will soon be in a very unfortunate situation if he doesn't get his act together, as he is living with an elderly family member and the rest of his family is exactly the same way as he is, save for living under someone else's roof (though they are constantly begging for money from other people). What could happen to him if this family member passes away scares me.

He knows no responsibility, as he is 25 and has never had a job or really had any responsibilities besides house chores, half of which he either doesn't do or complains about the entire time. He has no idea about the concept of arriving somewhere on time because he thinks if someone says to be somewhere by 8:00, you leave the house at 8. He is the king of excuses and thinks he can just make an excuse for everything. When I've tried to tell him he will be fired from jobs for this sort of behavior, he has scoffed and acted like he has his pick of any job he wants and that any employer would be lucky to have him. He's 25 with no prior experience. Nobody wants to hire someone who can't be bothered to show up to work on time, take orders, do anything besides lay on their ass, cannot accept any sort of criticism or responsibility for their own actions, and has an excuse for everything.

Nothing is ever his fault, it's always somebody else's, and his reaction to being told anything he doesn't want to hear or being held accountable for his actions is to have a pity party and sulk.

And yes, he is never happy and always finds a reason to complain about EVERYTHING. He is always trying to relive the past and is too busy doing that and hating the present to enjoy anything, and the only way he ever wants to leave his house and interact with people is if he can somehow try to relive the past and the people he interacts with are his old friends from high school, most of which want nothing to do with him now. He is completely opposed to meeting any new people or trying any new things. It's very sad, but there's no convincing him otherwise.

What these people don't realize is that there are a lot of things in life that are in their control, they just choose to do nothing about them and chalk it up to "bad luck". The truth is that we create a good portion of our own luck, and a lot of our quality of life depends on the choices we make.

Well when you have everything it's easy to get that way because you're not used to 'real' struggle. Most likely they are bored. Maybe they can't move out, but the ones who waste all their money probably could though but they're either just lazy or needs help handling their economy... Though when you can't move out it's easy to feel down in life and complain. But it could be good to at least be greatful you can stay with your parents.
Avoid those people who complain too much, it's just annoying.

im an adult and i still live with my parents and i am eternally grateful for them because getting an apartment, providing for yourself is so expensive plus i'm still studying so i would probably die in the streets.

that said, i know a lot of people who live in mansions and still complain that they hate their life and while i don't want to invalidate their suffering, it takes no effort to just appreciate what you have.

but maybe its because i grew up with no money to spare to get nice things.

Thou doth protest too much

While at work I was a contract aerospace quality engineer specialising in supply chain. That meant I lived out of a suitcase for most of my life. I retired at 68 and bought a condo in Pattaya, Thailand and believe it or not there are the moaners over here as well. There's no pleasing some people!

Yo, I’m about to move to the ghetto.

Sounds about right. Suffering is generally self inflicted

Where are you?
