Whining is petulant complaining, you are a petulant complainer, ie a whiner.

I give you Exhibit A and the prosecution rests.

It's rich for you to claim you'd react with less "complaining" or "whining" when you were never tested that way.

Petulance is an emotional state that can not be reliably perceived from implications in text.  Unless I wrote "I am feeling upset" or "I am angry" you have no way of knowing if I'm really upset or angry and therefore no way of knowing if I'm being petulant.

And anyways, even if I did tell you that, you could always choose to ignore my emotional state and consider the objective content of what I'm saying.

You’d think someone who matured so much after high school wouldn’t care so much about what other people think about him.

You don't know if I care or not.  And if I do care about something, you don't know what it is. You assume it's about what other people think about me, because you assume everybody else works like you. But remember the part where I am not neurotypical?
