Complaining is a habit reinforced by attention and sympathy, trapping you in a cycle of seeking pity. Papa Hormozy's rule: it is better to be envied than pitied. Stop complaining and chase respect instead.

If you complain, you are dead to me. When you complain, you expend effort for no result. We complain because we have been rewarded for complaining in the past. And so rewards typically come in the form of affection, attention, and approval, which is why some people like to be sick, because people pay attention to them. They give them affection. That's how those cycles begin. But I will give you a quote that Papa Hormozy gave me in my wee days. He said, it is better to be envied than pitied. And I don't know about you, but I didn't get in the game to get pitied.
