“No. I\u2019m trying to…”<\/p>\nRUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah. These things are just horrible. You know, nothing tastes right. Nothing smells right. Aw, just… Whatever this is… It\u2019s more than likely just a bad cold. I had chills the other night. I thought I was coming down… Well, I had fever, and I said, “Oh, no. Don\u2019t let this become the flu.” But it hasn\u2019t. It\u2019s just crummy. But I\u2019m not whining. I\u2019m not complaining, folks, \u2019cause I don\u2019t know how to deal with people who complain. I never know what to say when someone\u2019s complaining. You know when people complain to you and you try to talk to them?<\/p>\n
“No, no, it\u2019s gonna be fine.”<\/p>\n
“You don\u2019t care! You just don\u2019t care!”<\/p>\n
“No. I\u2019m trying to…”<\/p>\n
“No, no, you don\u2019t realize how serious it is!”<\/p>\n
“Okay.”<\/p>\n
“Man!” (muttering)<\/p>\n
“Oh, it\u2019s gonna be terrible! How can it get any worse? You don\u2019t have to tell me it could be that bad!”<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what to say when people whine. (interruption) Is that what you say? That\u2019s just it? You say, “I feel ya”? (interruption) Oh, I can\u2019t get away with, “I\u2019m deaf; I can\u2019t hear you” twice. I can get away with that… (interruption) Well, that\u2019s what I\u2019m trying to do! I try to do… (interruption) It\u2019s one thing I have never developed. You know, I\u2019m a person with tremendous empathy. I could not do this program without empathy. But I do not know…<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve always believed that if people are complaining, you try to lessen whatever it is that\u2019s causing the complaining. Just try to be positive, try to be — and, if you do that, then you\u2019re accused of not appreciating the severity of whatever it is, and that translates to, “You don\u2019t care,” and then if you recognize and acknowledge whatever the complaint is… (Snort!) It\u2019s just like it\u2019s a no-win. That\u2019s why you don\u2019t complain. I don\u2019t want to put people in the position of not knowing what to say to me. So I don\u2019t complain.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not becoming anyway. But it\u2019s the one thing I\u2019ve never learned how to deal with, and I guess the objective is to let \u2019em know you care without telling them, “I really care about that.” “Oh, if you did, you wouldn\u2019t have to say so!” “Okay. Um… (Ahem.)” Especially if you\u2019re dealing with hypochondriac. Oh, that is the absolute worst! You really… Pshew! Man, oh, man. So, anyway, here I find myself in a circumstance where I would like to be able to detail for you why I may not be 100% today mentally, but then that would translate into me complaining and seeking an excuse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
