This person-
Complains incessantly

Refuses to admit her/his mistakes
Allows herself/himself to be victimized
Her/His constant negativity and general air of miasma suck the energy out of everyone
around them.Others quickly become discouraged as these beliefs invade everything they
do.
How do you disquiet them?
It is important to find out what their motivations are and to link objectives to fulfilling
those. You will also need to give clear direction, and be ready to provide her/him with
your time and support.

Provide feedback back when you show people where they have made a mistake, and how
they can change their performance to get what they want out of their life or work.

Using logic and evidence – It's hard to argue with logic and evidence. It can persuade and
help combat skepticism.

This requires knowledge of the person, such as her interests and agenda. Determining
these will help you understand what they really want. You should customize both the
content and the format of your message.

Acknowledging opposing perspectives but moving on, using logic and evidence, and
providing options that people can agree to without compromising their position or
dignity.

If someone is unhappy with their life or work and want change give them something to
think about. The options they have will help them make their decisions on where they are
going next in life or work then provide ways to support those decisions.

Sometimes they decide that its not so bad. If this happens they will quiet down and not
complain as much but be more supportive of their current situation.

Other times change is what they want and they get motivated toward those goals. This
can also give them something else to think about besides how bad it is.
