Serious "I need to vent".

[Palamon]

Are you the type of person who can vent to people, or do you keep your feelings to yourself?

 

[Caite-chan]

I'm the type to vent just to get it off my chest because I always seem to feel better afterward.

 

[VisionofMilotic]

No, it's definitely the second one with me. I will shoulder the burden and keep things to myself. I don't like a lot of drama, and prefer to silently work things out myself. I prefer people not to know too much about my private life, especially my troubles, I don't want pity or attention or to disturb others if I can avoid it. I am more likely to give advice to others then I am to seek it, and if I do ask for help it is because I hope to be offered a solution, not because I want to vent for it's own sake.

If I talk about something that is deeply personal and has upset me then I probably have been bottling up for months or years, and it's getting bad if I come out and just say it. People often do not read me correctly because I have a calm demeanor, and I can surprise people if they find out of something I am going through. However, everyone has their limits, and when I can't swallow anymore I will complain.

Both!
Problems other people cause me I vent about. The problems in my head not so much.

i have a few close friends that i vent to.

i'll be honest: i'd ideally like to keep my life and feelings to myself, but i cannot tell you enough how cathartic it feels to have someone relate to whatever life situation i've been in. it makes me feel like i'm not alone in fighting my battles. i think that, more than anything, helps me more on a mental level than a constant loop of internal wrestling with my own emotions.

 

[pastelspectre]

Both. It depends on who I'm venting to and what I am venting about.

 

[Zeostar]

I don't really enjoy expressing my own feelings, but I love lending an ear for people.

 

[Ys]

I'm generally more closed off, so I can lend an ear to just about anyone but will mostly/only vent to my family, friends, people I feel close to.

 

[Palamon]

To be honest, I only vent to one person, or just vent behind a lock account into a void that only people I trust are allowed to see. I'm not a very trusting person.

 

[Aslan]

Most people I never vent to. I'm open with the few people who are truly close to me but I keep my personal life very private and interactions relatively surface level otherwise. Even then it was a balancing act for years between not venting at all out of fear of opening up and oversharing to the point I might have exhausted other people. I can't tell you the number of times I have been ready to type up a vent and just backed out of hitting send. I think nowadays I'm less reliant on venting to other people unless I feel that I'm struggling to an extreme extent.

 

[Fairy]

I'm a listener rather than a talker, but I'll vent to my therapist because I pay her and apparently it's "healthy". I will also catch close friends up with the most negative aspects of my life (is that even venting??) but I'd rather deflect off of me.

I'll only really vent about more playful topics like "omg why art so hard （;≧皿≦)" or "here's my rant on why Granbull is the most underrated Fairy type" or "Steven Universe broke my heart send help".

 

[pkmin3033]

I like complaining and whining (believe it or not!) but I don't really trust people enough to share my personal issues with them. I tend to keep things bottled up until I break down...at which point I still keep them bottled up.

 

[Commander Saturn]

I can not think of a time when I have ever needed to vent; if someone aggravates me I let them know post haste and then I move on. Fortunately, that seldom happens as it takes a significant amount to upset me to any degree.

 

[Tsutarja]

I rarely vent, but that's primarily because I find myself being an easy-going person that is easy to forgive. However, I do feel that most of the time when I do need to vent, I can be reserved with my feelings.

I'm all ears too if anybody needs a place to vent y'all <3

 

[Sheep]

legit cannot believe i missed this thread

I only vent to people I'm close to, and even then it's not often. tend to usually keep stuff to myself since over time I relax and regret venting/ranting. pretty happy doing things this way since I do tend to feel much better after a few hours if something stressful happened. rambling about things usually doesn't improve my mood either, so waiting it out tends to be the better decision anyways!

 

[User Anon 1848]

I had a bad habit of oversharing in the past but these days I try not to vent unless something is really bothering me.

 

[moon]

i cannot keep my feelings to myself

 

[Roni]

Twitter's been great for venting out frustrations through writing. Also getting angry and simulating an argument with myself at 2am lets all the rage loose without affecting anybody else. A good scream, a good cry, a good sleep, and I'm ready to go the next day.

 

[Corrin]

I vent in my journal or ask a friend if I can talk to them. I don't like keeping things bottled up.
