Whining is considered not just ungraceful but also risky, as it can attract harmful individuals. When someone complains excessively, it might signal vulnerability, making them a target for aggression or danger.
According to Maya Angelou in her book "Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now," whining can inadvertently alert dangerous people of your presence, increasing the potential for harm. It is advised to handle difficulties with strength and dignity rather than persistent complaining.
