I've had a situation like that last month. It was a case I was working on. This was the second worst home health situation I had been in. There is nothing more unnerving than watching an adult have a serious temper tantrum.

My husband’s grandmother would always leave out ingredients in a recipe so I would never be able to make the dish as good as hers! LOL 😆

One time I cooked my husband’s grandmother’s recipe twice. I followed her recipe exactly!

I asked my MIL why my dish wasn’t turning out right. The first thing she said was, “Oh my gosh, you didn’t ask my mom for a recipe, did you? She will purposefully leave out ingredients so it won’t be as good as hers.”

And sheep in my clothing. And wolves that walk around in my socks.

And there’s this one wolf who’s always borrowing my skirt.

People who are only listening to themselves during a conversation. They can waste minutes of my time and won't accept any feedback when they want your answer to a question. These types of conversations are pointless! Why ask for my opinion if you are going to tell me that its wrong.

Exactly! They are only looking for people who will agree with them. Constructive criticism falls on deaf ears.

People who intentionally withhold empathy. They want to see you squirm. They know you’re expecting empathy.

You think they withhold it? I think empathy is in terribly short supply. And too many people are gloating over its near-extinction, being cruel and stepping on others to get their way.

Hey, venting…

Start a post on people who are uplifting and inspire us! Do you think that it would get as much attention as this post? 😆

My mom was very uplifting and inspiring. Whenever I would get sad, mad, stressed out? All I needed was a mom fix. I miss that so much among other things.

She's the only person I've ever known where we could just sit and not even talk and it was just fine. No pressure ever to talk or be anything but who we were.

Love you Mom!

Bullies, especially those who are in a position of “power”, and who know it’s very likely they’ll get away with whatever bad things they’re doing.

To be bluntly honest, sometimes the people who most get on my nerves are the "whiners".
(Yes, I can be a "mean girl". )
And I am not here speaking about this particular question, because this question INVITES our whining and I myself AM whining (about whining).
But I'm speaking "in general".

I know that people need to blow steam out a vent when they are overwhelmed occasionally with the vagaries of life, and the expectations of others.
I'm not speaking here of people who have been hurt and are having a difficult time understanding and moving on.
We all get smacked up the side of the face by life, and we all need to say it smarts. We all need someone to say they are sorry it hurts.
BUT.....................

I AM speaking of people who make it their life's profession to ACCEPT abuse, and as some small recompence seem determined to whine constantly, and who expect others to give sympathy.
I AM speaking of people who martyr themselves to abusers long-term, and expect others to think that makes them a "good" person.

On a personal level I understand how difficult and costly it can be to get good help. But often, even with good help, a person will refuse to give up habitual ways of reacting, will refuse to move forward. As soon as counseling gets "uncomfortable" (and good counseling always WILL get uncomfortable), they walk away, feeling (as always) misunderstood.

I fully understand I may seem to be without sympathy, and I do own that I have been very lucky in my life, starting with great parents and a strong foundation. I cannot even imagine a life without it (and there's perhaps my problem).

But I HAVE seen hard times (the usual: heartbreaking marriage breakup, bad choices, cancer, losses of loved ones, this and that). And three times in my life I have had to seek help, have had --at times--to face MY OWN PART in it, have had to learn, have had to break bad habits and move forward.

So sometimes the whiners just make me want to shake them up as hard as a few psychologists shook me. (If your psychologist doesn't shake you up you are paying for nothing at all).

I'm willing to accept I may not be the nicest person in the world, and here I may have given proof to that. But that foundation I spoke of has made me more or less immune to the opinions of others, hee hee. So, yeah. On some days it's the "whiners" who get on my nerves. Just a bit.

Alva,

I don’t place blame on victims but when a person refuses to get therapy it’s a problem. People have to have a desire to help themselves out of bad situations.

Hahaha, I have a sign hanging in my kitchen that says, ‘No Whining!’ I hung it up specifically for certain people to read! LOL 😆

People who are "being helpful" especially if they are not the family. Neighbors who are do gooders that are acting as flying monkeys and creating a heck of a lot more problems for the family.
We have never asked for anyone to lie, but we have asked them to direct mil back to her son.
It's kind of like stay in your lane, know your place.

I've been away myself. Not heard from Venting, Venting's user is Ventingisback, so I assume we will see their return at some point, I hope so anyway.

I thought during my absence we would have seen the people that get on your nerves to reach 99% by now :) Where are you venting?
