Does going to the doctor and saying, for example, "I have sharp pains in my stomach and feel really nauseous" count as complaining? Because if you didn't do that you wouldn't get diagnosed with appendicitis, your appendix would rupture and then you would surely DIE. :skull:

Anyway, my brain should be the size of a pea by now.

I actually didn't complain when mine did and they still managed to figure it out. Of course by that point I was walking hunched over like a humpback.

That's describing actual symptoms, not complaining.

If complaining shrinks your brain then complaining must make people happy sense ignorance is bliss.

I can believe that.
Complaining can become so habitual so easily, then you get into the way of it and see everything through that lens. Therefore, everything in your world becomes worthy of complaint. Self-perpetuates? Vicious circle? Difficult one to break, too.
