Where do you go to vent?

Keep it to myself because I feel like the one who has to solve everyone's problems and am not allowed to ask for help. Also I feel this deep sense of being a betrayer of people if I vent about them ☹️ and I'm scared to speak how I feel out loud for fear of hurting people's feelings

i personally tell people if i have an issue i need to vent about them 🤷🏼‍♀️

Depends what I have to vent about My best friend is my person. She knows literally everything about me

Sadly I keep it to myself at this point. Or only really vent to my step mom. But she’s not reliable. Doesn’t text me back for days randomly. My MIL is insensitive as all hell and just rags on me when I try to vent. My own mother is a very…. Just wait kind of person or be lucky for you do have, kind of person. So I don’t bother with those 2. You’d think having 3 families I’d have a support system, but I don’t 😂🤷🏼‍♀️🥹

I have a great friend who lives far away: we use the Marco Polo app to talk about anything and everything. We both know venting is needed and don’t judge each other but are there to support each other. I never question if I told her too much and she feels the same. We feel like we get to go through motherhood together even from afar!

Journal it and spew on the pages. Some thoughts I have no one understands or looks at me like I'm in the wrong. 🤷🏾‍♀️

my journal

Me and my best friend constantly rant to each other we just type it all out on a message send it and then it’s usually follow by “sorry for the rant you don’t have to read it all but man do I feel good to get that outta me”

I’ll talk to my best mum friend about it. Although when I do want a moan about my husband it’s always very trivial “he didn’t tidy the bath toys after the bath!!” And nothing very serious. Although I’ve tried not to recently as her and her husband have been going through a really difficult patch and my trivial moaning just seems petty when 99.9% of the time we are very happy together.

I vent to chat gpt. Careful though, they'll always make you sound like you're in the right when you're actually not.

@quira you vent to the person you want to vent about? Would that be more like a confrontation? I'm not good at that. 😆

@Helen absolutely! if someone does something that i feel that i would need to vent about it - i just pull them up about it, i’m gentle about it unless its really pushing boundaries. it can definitely lead to confrontation! it depends on how/who you approach.

I used to vent to my “best friend” but we’re no longer friends as she didn’t agree with my choice about my relationship but I also felt like it was a one sided friendship.

I talk to my mom when I need to about my emotions I’m usually like can I call you or can I talk to you and she knows lol I try not to bother my man with my problems because he’s more often than not too stressed as it is

This app incognito it can get you some advice or support or just other perspectives without others actually knowing who’s life this is about

All of the above 😅

I vent to the group chat I have with my sisters usually

I keep it to myself 😭

I have no friends or family so I come here and I do it anonymously. Half the time no one replies but either way it feels good to just let it out.

I have hubby, my 2 sisters and my close friends. And if I needed energy i have to expend then I go salsa dancing, I dance all my worries off. Hubby hits his anger off on a golf ball, or bowling ball lol. I think it’s healthy for everyone to have an outlet to “sweat” all their energy out too. Like how some girls go boxing or rock climbing, something you feel 1000% better after, even if you didn’t get to vent verbally you still feel better after, something that promotes Adrenalin. I’m not really a venter in general though.

My sisters 100%, we tell eachother everything and I wouldn’t have it any other way

But I’m also someone who has to work and talk through things, like I can’t just let something simmer on the back burner and pretend not to be upset so I work through issues with whoever it is that upset me (99% of the time my hubby 😂)
