Other complaints are the unreasonable ramblings of spoiled, critical, entitled, miserable, unappreciative brats. They are catalysts to change as well.
One has to know if one's complaining is helping, inspiring improvement, or merely compounding one's problems, and repelling others.

The answer to many people's issues with themselves and others, is to adopt attitudes of appreciation and gratitude.
After a while, constant unfounded complaining gets old and exhausting. What you won't be allowed to do, is cause people to doubt themselves, or their competence. You won't be allowed to break spirits. You won't be allowed to rip the joy out of every day, and subject others to a constant barrage of negativity.
Something has to be right, good, praiseworthy, and acceptable. Why not find and embrace it?
Keep complaining; keep looking for things to be wrong, and there will be no one left to listen.
Even the most patient, compassionate, and gracious people have limits concerning the toxicity they will subject themselves to.
