(37,748 posts)Venting is, at worst, a most benign form of releasing our frustrations... much better than other forms of frustration-release I would think.
In an emotionally charged environment, I would hazard that criticizing the release of frustration is at it's best, counter-productive, as more often than not, our hearts (much as we may hate to admit it) have far more control over our brains than the reverse.
That criticizing it as such, is about as pointless as the venting itself.
However, I won't use the terms "blathering" or "stupid" to describe the venue of emotional release others may choose... as that would merely advertise my own lack of sympathy for a lot of people who are feeling very down about a thing many of us feel very emotionally charged about.
