Is it normal to whinge about your problems?

Lately I've really felt like I've had a lot on my plate. My company has restructured, my finances are s**t, my ex-somethingorother finished with me but it just feels like it's all i ever talk to people about. I've met a few new friends recently and as these things are all that's on my mind it's all I tend to talk about. I really don't have a lot else going on at the moment. But is this normal to do when you have stuff on? Or do most people keep all their problems to themselves and talk about other stuff when they're with other people. I've always been a listener and shoulder to cry on for friends but they don't seem to talk about their problems as much, they just don't seem to have any or perhaps they just keep it to themselves. And to be honest I have sometimes got irritated a little when the same topic is being regurgetated again and again. Or does that just make me a bit of a bitch for thinking that?

    I don't mind when people want to talk about their problems. It shows trust and is better than pretend happiness. It just gets annoying when it becomes constant and repetitive. It's okay to vent for a while, too, but then shift your focus to finding solutions. Talking things through with others often helps me generate new ideas and strategies and find resolve.

    We must be related. I whinge 98% of the time when I speak. Some people are like that, others grin and bear it and don't say a word.

  • Aww sounds like your having a really terrible time :( I would listen! I'm going through a lot right now too but I can't talk to anyone coz it's generally about them! Haha just be careful who you discuss things with & I'm sure it will get better soon x

    You want to vent, which is fine. Still, though people want to help, they get irritable when they are confronted with an issue that you're asking them to beat at with you. Repetition is tiring. I suggest finding a way to vent that involves physical or mental stimulation. Go for a run, draw, write, etc when you start to get upset.

    You are asking two questions, both have different answers.
    Yes, it is normal to talk about your problems and complain when life gives you lemons.
