My twin sister would yell @ me all the time, & when I told my foster mom, she used to say, "How can she fuss @ you & she's your age"? Do you have to be an adult to fuss? Is fussing like verbally chastizing a child? Was I taught wrong about the idea of the difference between fussing & yelling? I think they're the same thing.

Fussing is complaining and whining about something unnecessarily.
Yelling is losing your temper and behaving like a self-centred moron.

I think most people use "fussing" as far as someonme reprimanding and / or scolding you or even nagging you. Yelling is actually raising ones voice.
I always have used "yell" even if the person did not raise his / her voice, but the people i know from the south say "fussin."
It is all the same to me. I think it depends upon where you were raised.

They are the same thing. "Fussing" is just more of a childish or slang way to say it. Of course, "fussing" could also mean arguing or chastising, without yelling.

fussing is like whining and yelling is really raising your voice to someone and you can do either at any age pretty much

fussing is more positive......like concern and care. Yelling is negative.......done with anger.
