Hi, Chiyosan!
Most people whine and complain just to vent. They either have no idea what they could do about the problem, or they don't care enough to do anything about it. I always ask people who are whining or complaining what it is they plan to do about it. Most of the time they plan nothing other than getting it off their chests.
I think a sign of intellectual maturity involves figuring out a solution for those things that cause us to whine or complain.

I don't like to spend too much time whining about something. i used to do that when i was younger. it doesn't really solve anything and just prolongs the anxiety. i like to something about what is making me want to whine before whining has the chance to take over. it just turns out better in the end that way.

I'm a whiner all right, but I do something about my the things I can change, I just talk a lot while solving it that's all...

If I am capable of dealing with the thing that bothers me, it is better for me to just do something instead of complaining and whining. That way, something will actually change for the better. In this kind of situation, whining is just a waste of time.
However, on the other hand, if the thing that is bothering me is absolutely out of my control, whining is the only possible choice other than giving up and leave it like that.
Through whining, someone out there, who might be capable of improving that certain situation, might hear my voice and actually help me out.
This same thing basically apply to almost everyone on Earth.

I think that most people whine complain or comment first on the problems they have to face.I don't know that many people that have a problem.don't say anything and act directly,most would ask advice on the matter.As for me I do act if the need be,if I find the situation is worth getting involved.People can cause problems too,if that's the case and if it doesn't affect me on a large scale,I let them be,I take no action.
