Do you know someone who complains a lot? It doesn’t matter what they complain about – they just seem to have a complaint about almost everything?

People like that can be very hard to be around, yet sometimes you don’t really have a choice. Maybe you work with them, maybe you live with them, or maybe they’re a friend or relative you see from time to time.

It’s not fun to be around a Debbie or Dennis Downer, and having a plan laid out in advance can be vital to your mental wellbeing. Here are some things you could consider saying:

• “I’m so sorry – I just remembered an errand I have to get done today!”
• “Hey, did you hear that? I’d better go check on it!”
• “I’m so sorry to interrupt you – do you know where the closest bathroom is?”

Or you could put on your placid cow persona – in your mind, you’re in a beautiful sunlit green field and you’re happily soaking up the warm sun on your skin as you chew the delicious grass over and over and over. You don’t actually have to chew – just imagine yourself as a very contented cow, keeping a calm look on your face and hearing none of the carping that’s going on.

Placid cow…placid cow…placid cow…
