Some of us leaving it bottled up lets it compound with interest. A little vent valve to release the pressure allows us to think things clearer and walk it through to its logical conclusion.I can see both things. I yell at traffic all the time and then move on 30 seconds later. I doubt this is what the article is talking about though. I've been in situations where part of me wants to let go and rage but then another part of me notes that it won't actually help the situation, it will only fuel the fire. As noted, thinking through a situation and how to move forward is usually the only solution but venting does not help you think.

you weren't discussing, you were throwing labels and ignoring everything but your opinion. There's a difference. Look, I was a denier for a long time. One of the "just think happy thoughts, what is your problem" type people at one time. When I could no longer "just be happy", things changed.Yeah. I saw myself out if that "discussion".
Couple possibilities:
”Dealing with a problem” is not the same as “venting.”
”Venting” as referred to in the article linked is a euphemism for “temper tantrum.”
