Venting is not what you think it is.
When we "vent" as Modern Psychology and Psychiatry calls it, we are committing at least the following 23 sins...(sins being the absence of what is Truth/Love/Virtues; i.e. God)
1. Complaining
2. Distrust in God
3. Unacceptance of reality
4. Unacceptance of God's Will (always good) that we can't control
5. Pity party / self-pity
6. Believing and acting like an innocent victim
7. Scapegoating to not work on becoming self aware of our own sins
8. Blaming feelings
9. Idolatry of humans over God, including ourselves
10. Misjudging or judgmentalness
11. Assuming many things
12. Rationalizing that venting is good and necessary
13. Unrealistic expectations
14. Perfectionism
15. Intolerance of imperfections
16. Impatience
17. Unacceptance of not getting our way, whether good or bad
18. Selfishness in many ways
19. Any one or more of the following sinful emotions...fear, worry, stress, anxiety, degree of anger, offended/hurt, upset, etc.
