open question: how do you feel about complaining?

I find some kinds of complaining much more tolerable than others. There's a kind of venting which everyone does and needs to do, basically, but in its sense of letting off steam, I don't see it as complaining at all.

I think the most agitating complaining is when people assume or act as if the very act of them speaking about something is an accomplishment, or they don't realize how they are doing the same things over and over again The gratification or indulgence factor, that's weird and feels inherently unhealthy to me.
