無止境的抱怨

6-7年前，我用英文起草了這個Meetup group （興趣聚會小組）（下麵也附上中文），但沒打算付之於行動。最近很多Meetup又重新開始聚會了，令我想起了我這個束之高閣的草稿。如果我真的開這個聚會，會有人來參加嗎？

 

Unlimited Complaints Meet-Up Group!

 

Are you sick of trying to be positive all the time? Are you tired of society insisting that the only answer to "How are you?" is "Fine"? Do you wonder why more and more people have depression and anger management issues when everyone claims they're fine all day long?

 

It's because no one is allowed to complain! This meetup is a safe place for people to vent their frustrations on a regular basis. Here, you don't need to bottle up your negative emotions. You can let them out in a supportive atmosphere and feel better. Afterwards, you'll have plenty of energy to remain positive with the rest of the world!

 

I'm a complaint queen. While there's a lot that's going well in my life, I rarely focus on those things. Instead, I prefer to focus on the things that are going wrong and to (you guessed it!) complain about them! The sooner I complain about them, the better I feel! And my complaining might even lead to the epiphany I need to solve my problems.

 

In this group, we can complain in any manner we like! The people we're complaining about aren't here, so we don't have to worry about offending or angering with them. Once we get our complaints out in a safe environment, it's easy to go back and play nicely with other people.

 

Disclaimer: this meetup group is just for fun. If you have serious psychiatric conditions, please seek professional help.

 

Complaint rules:（一共有九條規則，在這裏就貼一條。）

“無止境的抱怨”聚會小組!

 

你是否厭倦了在別人麵前總是保持積極的態度? 當別人問你感覺如何時，你總是堅持說:“很好!”  你有沒有想過，當你聽到每個人都說他們一整天都很好時，為什麽越來越多的人變得抑鬱或者有憤怒不能自控的問題?

 

因為我們的文化不鼓勵抱怨！這個聚會是一個安全的地方，大家可以定期發泄自己的沮喪。在這裏，你不需要壓抑你的負麵情緒，你可以把你的情緒在一個相互支持的氛圍中表達出來，發泄完之後，你就會有足夠的精力對現實保持積極的態度!

 

我是個抱怨女王。雖然我的生活中有很多順利的事情，但我很少關注這些事情。相反，我更喜歡關注那些我不滿意的事情，並且（你猜對了!) 我抱怨那些我不滿意的事！我越及時抱怨，我的感覺就越好! 在抱怨的過程中，我有時還會得到解決問題的靈感。

 

在這裏，我們可以用任何我們喜歡的方式抱怨!  我們抱怨的人不在這裏，所以我們不必擔心冒犯他們或激怒他們。一旦你在一個安全的環境中表達了你的憤怒，再回去和你抱怨過的人友好相處，就會容易多了。

 

溫馨提示：這個聚會小組隻是為了好玩。如果你有嚴重的精神疾病，請尋求專業幫助。

 

抱怨規則：（有九條，在這裏就貼一條）

 

6.  不要對抱怨者加以評判，不要要求抱怨者細數自己可以感恩的事情。我們是來分享自己的負能量，不是自己的正能量。
