Is venting good or bad?

Question

Is it beneficial or harmful to complain to someone else about your problems?

Answer 1

venting is good complaining constantly is bad*

Answer 2

Venting is better than keeping your problems pent up inside you. That causes stress that can create a multitude of other problems with your mental stability and physical health.

However, it is best to vent to someone you can trust with your inner feelings and not stab you in the back.

Answer 3

I think its a good thing for the most part because you get what's bothering you out and it sometimes helps you calm down. I tend to hold things in that are bothering me and I either end up sick or more angry and upset than I was before. Of course it depends on the person because I know people who probably shouldn't vent because they are constantly upset and it tends to tire out the person you're venting to.

Answer 4
