My brother be like: complaining all the time. Is there any difference between the 2? I have no negative thoughts about either of those, but I find the thought funny of an adult being hypocritical towards a toddler. :laugh: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 2] Auteur : SuperJack Date : April 3rd, 2021 05:19 AM Title : Re: Crying vs Complaining Yes. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 3] Auteur : Helz Date : April 3rd, 2021 01:14 PM Title : Re: Crying vs Complaining It might just be a difference in motivation or tone. Maybe complaining can be constructive while crying is just venting emotion? Or maybe crying is when the individual leverages themselves as a victim while complaining is just general bitching? Or it could be that its just two different ways to view a single behavior. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 4] Auteur : Marshmallow Marshall Date : April 3rd, 2021 11:56 PM Title : Re: Crying vs Complaining I'm not a specialist of English, but "complaining (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/complain)" is more rational and more noble, so to speak, than "crying (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cry)". "Crying" has an infantilizing character, while "complaining" does not. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
