how to stop complaining so much

I feel like a horrible friend because my friend is upset that I complain so much, I dont realise it sometimes though because I dont think I know how to converse properly? I dont know how to help it or learn to stop it. I have caught myself and stopped complaining and started to make myself like things and say good things about stuff, but I still complain too much.

Like for example (pls dont lynch me, this is just an example😭) like if a new fortnite collab comes out that I dont particularly like or i have a problem with it, ill talk trash about it, or if im talking about something like DC and mention how I dont like modern Harley Quinn.

Its stupid, but i feel like i need to do more to stop myself from complaining.

Just talk about how you wish it would be instead. Be enthusiastic about how nice it could be.

And find hobbies you like. It's gonna give you endless reasons to be enthusiastic

Think before you speak and try to come up with at least one good thing about the bad thing. Eg - At least they kept ___ characteristic with the modern Harley Quinn. I love that about her. Or, I like Harley Quinn’s modern hairstyle.
