Moaning Minnies

What could be worse than getting up, throwing open the curtains, feeling full of optimism and hope, opening your computer – only to find messages full of negativity, doom and gloom? What do some people get out of being the harbingers of doom, sucking all your emotions out of you and starting your day with a grimace? Of course, they’ve got you right where they want you. You need your phone / Facebook / Twitter / email to keep in touch with the nice people in your life. It is too drastic to stop using them. You can’t really block them either because basically you are a nice person who doesn’t like hurting their feelings and they will soon find out you have shut them out of your life. So we smile as we reply supportively (or press ‘delete’).
