I Can Complain

     One phrase you won't hear me say is "I can't complain" . I will complain and don't stop me.  The worst thing to do is to wax poetically about how I should not complain when I need to vent. If I am allowed to vent I will quickly vent and then it will be over. If I am not validated I will continue to harp about what is bothering me . Let me vent and just say nothing. I know that it shouldn't matter if others dismiss my venting, but it does. I just need to be heard. I guess that's why I like blogging. 

Kvetching

     Is complaining  a good thing or a bad thing? I say its a good thing . If you really feel kvetchy about something its good to complain about it. If you complain it might lead you to a solution . If you hold things in it does not mean you aren't a complainer it just means you are holding in your feelings. I suppose constant kvetching can be grating if the complaining is simply wallowing.

The Worst

     So many people I talk to always seem to be in contest with me to prove that they have things the toughest. I am not sure why . Does it really make them feel better that they think that they have it the worst? Why would anyone actually prefer things to be the worst for themselves? I for one do not . I also think that even if one does not have things the worst one still has a right to vent and be validated by ones friends without being told not to complain because  I  do not have it the worst.
