There's a thing I've noticed people indulging in (probably including me) which I'll call 'a bringe': it's half-way between a brag and a whinge.
What it is, is when you appear to be complaining about how dreadful your life is, but actually you're showing off.
Example 1:
'Oh, it's dreadful to be as thin as I am. I can really feel my bones poking through, and it's terrible getting clothes small enough'.
Which really means: 'Look how skinny I am! isn't it wonderful? not like you, you fat bitch!'
Example 2:
'I get invited to so many weddings, it's such a pain. There's having to take time off work, the cost of a present, maybe a few days for a stag or hen weekend-what a nonsense!'
Meaning: 'Oh look, I know all these young, attractive people who are getting married. And they want me there! not like you, you sad loser!'

Agreed Dave pet. I will admit to being one of those dreadful people who, whenever I need a bit of love and understanding and friendship, posts her feelings all over the net for attention and in hope of some love back. I'm the worst. But whatever I spout out *is* the truth of what I am thinking at the time, as you well know. Thankfully, these utterances are few and far between. Usually. LOL.
Sair pet (what a nice thing to be called), I certainly don't think of you as a bringer (if you see what I mean)
