  • I see you’ve asked this very thing and it didn’t go over well for you in the other instance.

    I've noticed that, it's kinda weird. It's like for every upvote I get here I get a downvote on the other instance. I wonder what the reason behind that is.

    What’s there to be grateful for when YOUR country is the one offering free healthcare, when America has pressurized it’s people in a ‘pay or die’ situation?

    Exactly that's why I'm wondering why people here are still so ungrateful on a daily basis. They don't see what luxury they have and instead focus on every little life situation by seeing it negatively

  • And to add to it: There are always two ways of looking at things. There is the optimistic and pessimistic view. I think the Western world had an opportunity for a more positive attitude by making Kamala Harris president. But as we know that didn't happen and at this point I think the hate has already normalized. In a way I think Trump embodies hate. Just look at his Truth Social posts and compare them to Harris' X posts.

  • Yea I'm not too worried about constructive criticism of things that can really matter to a certain extend. But I'm experiencing many people in life who constantly complain about the smallest things. No matter if in grocery stores the workers are complaining if someone asks them where a specific item is or people in every day life always focusing on something negative and pointing out what they don't like

  • I'm wondering why my post gets such negative reception here in "Ask Lemmy" but has the exact opposite perception that's way more positive in other communities such as over at "No Stupid Question". I wonder if there's something about this community?

  • What I mean is complaining about banal/small things. It's obvious to complain if actual bad things happen such as war. Idk where you are from but here in northern Germany people constantly complain about every little thing such as the weather, grocery prices, migrants and the list goes on and on and we don't have things like wars going on.

    It's the types of things people complain about that I don't understand. Imo other people who have serious issues are definitely entitled to complain. But if someone has a high quality life and constantly complains about small things and thereby constantly spreads negativity it seems unnecessary to me.

    I think it doesn't cost anything if I approach a place or person and point out something positive instead of complaining that they didn't build the building properly or whatever..

  • That's true. But I definitely also encounter loads of complaining irl and rarely see people being positive. At least here in northern Germany there are so many people that seem to constantly focus on the negative and search for things they can complain about. It's almost like their every day habit. Instead of going outside and pointing out something positive they just always have stuff to criticize

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Why do people from Western societies always seem to complain?
