Complaining, I think it hurts because when you complain you're just complaining about something that you want or you can't have and then that makes you think so negatively that you can't be happy. I was complaining that I didn't get to go somewhere and because everyone else was going I was complaining that it was not fair that my mom wouldn't let me go. And then I was just sad about how I couldn't go or my mom wasn't going to let me and then I did something that I felt comfortable doing and had fun doing and I totally forgot and that made me happy.
