How to stop useless complaining

如何停止毫无意义的抱怨

Be Assertive

要自信

Giving up the bad habit of complaining does not mean allowing yourself to become someone else’s doormat. Assertiveness is the way to tell others what your needs are and how these can be met. Convey confidence through something as simple as posture. Stand up straight, have a firm handshake, and always look people in the eye.

改掉抱怨的坏习惯不是说要让你自己成为别人的受气包。自信就是告诉别人你需要什么，如何才能得到满足。用简单的姿势就能传达这份自信。站直，有力的握手，跟别人眼神交流。

Enunciate and speak clearly, you want people to understand your point. Avoid rambling, which may lead to awkward and unproductive pauses. Be firm and express what you want clearly. Don’t leave your meaning to guess work.

明确清晰的发言，因为你想要别人理解你说的话。避免闲聊，以防会有尴尬的浪费时间的停顿。坚定清楚的表达你想要什么。不要让别人去猜测。
