You had a friend that calls you all the time and everytime they call you, the first words out of their mouth is about how bad their day is going. They don't say hello or anything, they just say something to the effect of "My life sucks."

Only YOU can allow yourself to be subjected to their negativity. Happiness is a choice and I choose not to be around negative people.

Tell them to man up and save the depression for when it's really necessary.

i had one of those. she'd call and she'd start blabbing about herself..for an hour. Never asked how I was, or how my day was going or anything. She'd sit and talk about herself. it was so annoying

That is exactly what this guy does. Never says "Hi, how are you today" just starts talkin about his crappy day. I have had to start telling him that if he can't say something positive I am going to stop answering his calls.

I'd hang up the phone, and go kick their a**, and ask them if they felt any better. grumble

Maybe you are the only person that takes the time to listen.
Maybe they need you.

I say, "Let's talk about something else for awhile, and get your mind off it."

That works a lot more often than you might think.

And if that doesn't work, I can suddenly become very busy with another project.

hit the mute button, cuss them out, listen, and when theyre done then say," why hello to you too. my day was great." then they will know. hopefully that you wont take it anymore.
