Venting

Vent by definition to let air out or release of emotion or to make vent for something.
This word strucked me when I was about to read an article entitled "Venting anger relieves it" a Happiness myth from The Happiness Project. It says "It's wrong to vent your anger instead you have to act in opposite" meaning fake it 'till you feel it'. I guess its true although you felt bad but acting as if nothing gives you a positive effect. Feelings and actions go together. Action is the result of feelings. Like when feeling mad we act violently or yell, that gives a negative effect to both person or thing involved but highly on mad person. It can damage mentally, physically and emotionally. Persons guilt and relationship barrier outcomes.
My friend always complain about something, sometimes it makes me irritated listening repeated problems and over acting. But I have to be calm and consider the side of the other person, 'does it hurt when I say this or walking out, not listening at all', I think it does and I don't also want to be rejected like that also. So, listening and giving advice help recovering give a positive effect. And also benefits relationship as well. The lesson: patience plays big part.
When I'm mad I vent by using my cellphone sending message to my friend or talking to them what happen but I don't directly say to the person I'm mad with 'cause I know its not good. That's my problem sometimes.I guess its a good way because they can give advice, make you feel at ease or smile and forgot the anger. But if there's no one to be there, just talk to yourself and say ' I'm happy and think there is a good purpose why it happened.
