Too young to complain so much!

[Jacquie Overhuls]

Hello everyone. I'm new to this complain free challenge and I just felt like I wanted a proper introduction. My name is Jacquie, I'm 25 and I'm a chronic complainer. I am too young to waste so much energy on doing this, but I come from a pretty negative family background. I was never surrounded by much positive energy growing up, but when I'm with friends or coworkers I show a different persona. I'm always the one making everyone laugh and have a good time and I'm thankful for that. However, I do want to change the fact that I constantly find something to complain about. My boyfriend turned me onto this book and I know he did it because he loves me. We have a great relationship and I know he only wants what's best for me. I'm very lucky to have him.

I find that I complain most about other people and things I cannot control. I wouldn't say I'm a control freak, I just have a problem with people who don't use common sense. At 25, I'm having a hard time understanding that people don't always learn about manners or are taught right from wrong. I work full time and I am currently pursuing a degree in psychology. Hopefully this degree will enlighten me as to why people act the way they do. I find psychology very intriguing.

I hope I don't sound too ridiculous. I'm hoping to change my ways so that I can enjoy life more without dwelling on the ignorance of others so much. Are there any other younger folks out there who feel like I do or am I the only 20-something in this boat? Thanks for hearing me out!
