Because it's safer than being truthful with ourselves.

The truth is we're all broken, sick, fricked up, etc... The truth is also that the act of admitting those things is painfully uncomfortable, so we avoid acknowledging them - as if pretending our issues don't exist will simply make them disappear.

I like this. In general, when we complain it helps us take our eyes off of ourselves and placing them on someone or something else. Sorta like the saying, "passing the buck". Is not easy dealing with the pain of the demons that haunt all of us, so we need an out a scapegoat.

Because people have no self awareness and are too big of pussies to take criticism.

In people's defense, self-awareness isn't some easy thing, it can be painful and invasive. It's getting past the layers of superficiality and digging deep into root causes, has nothing to do with being a pussy.

I used to lash out in anger or sulk in silence when faced with tough questions.

Now I simply downvote.
