When life gets hard or things don't go your way, how do you handle it? Do you bitch and moan, or do you keep strong and optimistic?

i complain to myself like:
i never complain about my problems to people

it's usually
"omg this is too hard"
"i don't think i can do this"

Depends on tha situation at hand. I never complain about my problems to people. I might whine when i'm hungry or something lol But about real life situations, no way

I complain a lot but I never quit.

Only about racism and homophobia and my college

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!×==/\€=$

i always complain on tumblr or something, not irl cause i don't want to be annoying

No, but if I do complain, I'll be complaining about a person's wrong doing, but I always love to see them catch their own tails and realize that they are just so "stupid" in a way.

Yes, but only when I'm annoyed.

Yes, my friends and i communicate through complaining. It keeps the soul suckers away. Its why i try to post positively here on ATRL.

if there's one feeling in the world i hate, it's withholding what i think/believe, which means i always express my honest opinion and that i usually vent my negative emotions somewhere (often in a journal, but sometimes in public). i just can't fight it, i can't handle that feeling at all. so yeah, i do

this, i complain to only myself tbh

I really try not to but sometimes I can't help it

Yes to my friends about my relationships.

No, what's the point in that. Find a solution and keep it moving.

I do, people might be annoyed by it but I can go on a full day of just moaning and whining about stuff. Research has shown that people who complain live longer becuase they get whatever they want more easily as everyone around them gets sick of the complaining at some point so they eventually just do whatever you like.

Usually not. I hate people who are always whining about how tired or bored they are.

Yes, and it actually runs in my family. I'm pretty sure I got it from my dad who complains non-stop.
