There are people who are not just happy and they seek to be offended. They are never happy with what is before them and so they carp and complain. Nothing is ever just right nor is their viewpoint rgar broad to encompass the whole.
We have our share here. But their life is based around expressing dissatisfaction in everything. They do it at home, in school and at work. They just can not find life outside of their world. This is the way they interact.
Go easy on them. You will drive them to depression if you come down to heavy on them. They have been to stop their ways by their parents, their family and their friends. This is their reality and they cherish it. To them, this is what makes them different. They are also very entertaining to those that express more common sense. |

I can say this because I am Italian American, and I hate to overgeneralize, but the condition you have described sums up perfectly some of my friends and their families, as well as people in my family, transplants from Italy, who seem to get off on complaining. That is how they live, interact and get their kicks. I call them the "miserably happy Italians" If you walk into a deli and see the knockout behind the counter who is superbly bitchy and looks like she would rather be tortured than working in her family's place- thats a great example.
Unfortunately for the internet, you can't see the smile on the face while typing, or the vigorous hand motions while complaining.
