1. Complaining is not doing.

If you're only complaining, then nothing will be fixed. Be proactive. Take on the initiative.

2. Complaining elevates your problem.

Once you start complaining about something, it will be the only thing you can see. And it will irritate you more and more.

3. Complaining makes you more irritable.

If nothing is resolved with your complaints, it will make you angry.

4. Complaining changes your frame of mind.

If you're already in a bad mood, then everything will become annoying.

5. Complaining about one thing, makes you more prone to complain about other things.

When it rains, it pours.

6. Complaining can be exhausting.

It takes more energy to remain angry than to find the good.

7. Complaining weighs on the people around you.

When you complain everyone gets to experience it. That's not fun for any friend, even a good one.

8. Complaining eliminates all possible positives within a situation.

When you're so wrapped up in the bad, it's extremely hard to find anything positive.

9. Complaining is a vicious cycle.

The more you complain, the more you will complain.

10. Complaints don't look good on you.

Bottom line is, there are so many good things. If stuff is not going your way take a minute and be grumpy. It's okay. But after that, find the good things and think about those.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
