What is whining? Expression of discontent at something.
Don't do it. No one wants to hear it. I do it too much, and I'm working on it.
How to avoid whining behavior:
1) If you don't like something, do something about it, or shut up.
2) Remember, other people don't want to hear it. They may seem like they want to, but people, on balance, prefer to hear positive things.
3) You are who you are, get over it. Wishing to be something else is foolhardy and destructive. If there's something about yourself you want to change (we all have these things), gradually habitualize constructive behaviors toward this goal.
4) Like 2, learn to see other people's reactions to you. I am a fairly straightforward person, when people do things that make me look negatively toward them, I usually say so. When this doesn't work or isn't possible, the expression on my face or my body language should usually give it away. Nothing is more self-centered than not being able to interpret how other people view your actions.
