I think that complainers are just very unhappy people and complaining about everything let’s their frustrations and unhappiness be shown to others.

Thanks!
And then there are those who simply don’t worry. It’s just wasted energy.

People that complain don't bother me, I just feel sorry for them. All said IMHO.
I love to complain so much that I even complain about people who tell me not to complain.
