Finding Something Wrong - All The Little Things

Have you ever been out to eat with someone, it is a nice casual meal with a friend, and they instantly find something negative about the place you're at? The food you're eating? The people next to you? Her dress, his shoes, that decoration, the temperature, the waitress, how long it's taking... The list goes on and on. 

It's almost like there has to be something wrong. It is not possible to feel good about yourself without first putting down someone or something around you. 

The person that is Always searching for a compliment or for you to agree with them about something that is honestly so trivial. 

Looking around, you'll notice that there honestly always is something that you could be complaining about. Right now it's hot and muggy in my room. My neck hurts from the way I'm propped up in my bed. I'm so mad I can't type on my lap top. I'm still kinda hungry.

But none of that is actually bothering me enough for me to do something about it, so why complain? 

I've noticed myself getting more annoyed recently with small things that didn't used to bug me so much. Is it because I'm more concerned with the little bits that didn't used to be so important, or am I hiding from my real feelings? Probably the latter. I get so so so annoyed with people who complain about the small things. Do you notice when you're doing it? Can you step back and see how you can pull a few of those negatives out and replace them with some solid positives. 

It's ok to enjoy each others company while the service take forever, to know you're not ever actually in a rush unless you make it so. All those small things bear no true meaning or insight into your life, so let them drift by. Save your words for the good stuff. I'll be getting started on that as soon as I wake up in the morning.
