I have a sister that complains about the same thing over and over. Finally I told her she needs to take action but she liked the attention her complaining gets her. She finally started to do something but that was because people stopped listening to her.
We can only do so much Rich. The people have to want to do things for themselves and at least make an effort to make the change. I have found that some people are comfortable in their misery. Sometimes I have had to move on. I will listen but I will not do for them what they have to do for themselves.
Thanks Gary. It’s a harsh truth - and there have been times when I have complained too much for sure, But as the years go by I just don’t have the energy or time anymore!
There were times when I have complained too much also but now my energy levels are not as high as they used to be and I don't have the time either Rich..
People don't have anything interesting to talk about typically. If you take away their "problems" then they will have zero to talk about. That's why you will commonly hear half of the human population say, "I don't want you to fix my problems, I want you to listen."
AI is at the point that it can provide a more interesting conversation than 99% of real people. Sad, huh?

Thank you for the reminder Rich!!

So you nailed it. Attention.
Yep I think some healthy venting is fine. But if we’re just going round in circles - then I’m out!
