Complaining vs doing. A question.

Are you more the sort of person who complains about something wrong / you don't like, or are you the sort of person who takes action to change it?

I'm both, depending. I do feel dissatisfaction is ok because invention is born from dissatisfaction and the world can become a better place for multitudes through invention. If you never complain and feel okay with everything, nothing will ever change.

Complaining is more commonplace on social media than real life and it doesn't seem to do much good except when large groups agree on the complaint, get together and change the complaint into a protest. This can do a lot of good very fast because there is power in large numbers.

How do you feel about this?

I'll register my complaint about something as an action to press for change. If a service provider or retail goods provider delivers sub-standard product or service- I'll let them know. If a website or app lacks intuitive features I'll offer my constructive criticism.
 

one must pick their own battles........... but i have spent years tactfully complaining .........
i have researched and helped people file appropriate paperwork to expose a wrong. I had a bully in employment only picked on people they thought would not fight back .. but i did by proxy for victims and several management people and company had repercussions they never saw coming.

i am speaking up for neighbors now about a situation with a property manager bully ........and once her employer has now been made aware of her issues she is running around like a chicken with her head cut off trying to appease people to not get let go ....
we had more tasks done in month then in six months
 
If my complaint has to do with something I am doing or not doing then I will try to change it or me. But not much I can do to change things out in the world. I vote and sign petitions according to my beliefs.

I have found myself trying to change things right here where I live though. There was a possible case of elder abuse with one of the managers we had and I made calls about that and next thing I know the manager was out the door. Presently I am trying to make a difference here again. Working on that right now. My computer is my obstacle on that project right now.

I'm curious. What do you mean by intuitive features?
 
I cannot actively participate the way I would want to anymore, not enough strength or energy, which makes me feel so sad & useless. I don't complain as much as I want to either. Nothing is the same. Had a good rant with my therapist 2 weeks ago and felt somewhat better. Intense feelings need an outlet or they go inward.
 
I have lost a lot of my enthusiasm for complaining over the years after listening to so many others complain so much and so often. I kinda just don't care too much anymore. It's not worth the energy I hafta expend to do it anyway.
 
I take action especially if it not only benefits us but others too! I can't sit back and not try and offer a solution if I am told or asked about an issue or problem.
