Do you complain a lot?

Not usually, but sometimes I get overwhelmed.

I keep my mouth shut until I pour it all out at once. That's my venting on here, putting it into words that I know most will ignore anyway so I don't feel bad about letting it out.

I don't really sweat the small stuff anymore though. I think moreso because I don't want my son to pick up the negativity. I want him to view the world without my bias and grumps lol

I think it's a bit related to my ptsd, neurodivergency and learning to identify and verbalize my feelings so I can advocate for myself.

Hmm.
While absolutely it is important to work on solutions, bear in mind sometimes things get overwhelming. There's nothing wrong to vent in such a situation. Your emotions are valid.

I haven’t noticed but I haven’t been on a lot. Girl I’ve just got so much I could complain about my brain overheats just thinking about my problems daily. But yeah, it doesn’t really help to talk about them much here anymore. I just live with it lol.

I feel like I do, and I hate it, so then I end up not telling people how I’m feeling. I really don’t know how to find middle ground

Personally I've came to the conclusion that every complaint is a lil story I create bout' how the universe is not becoming compliant with my way...

Acceptance of ...what is....keeps me grounded.

I think that's a wise insight.

Start with the FSM which appears to be attaching itself to the top of the trellis!

A lot of us use SW as a safe space to get things off our chest. There is nothing weak about that.

i don't complain as much just because i don't want to be a downer to other people, but putting myself down is my biggest talent

I try not to. It makes me feel worse instead of better.

I have my moments. But, like you, hopefully catch myself and check in

If you ask me, I'll give the lay of the land as I see it....otherwise I don't bother.

no not a lot. I'm resigned to my lot in life. but it's a matter of preference.

Mostly to myself, not to other people.

Not anymore

I complain about people's driving a lot cuz it pisses me off
