Is there such thing as venting too much? My parents think I vent AKA "complain" too much. I try my hardest to not sound like I'm complaining, and typically think I'm just expressing how my day at work went (which are typically hard days), but if I say anything remotely negative, they'll say "You vent way too much". My counselor doesn't think there's a limit to venting, but my parents do, and I would love to hear all your thoughts on that topic and see what you all think!

There's not a limit to venting, i believe its healthy to vent. But there are people who sometimes can get overwhelmed when there's a long venting session (especially if they have their own stuff going on). So, its important to keep that in mind. Your parents are saying that because they feel slightly uncomfortable and can't bring themselves do be uncomfortable for a few moments to empathize with their child. Im sorry youre dealing with that.

no limit. you just need a weathered listener. sometimes it's hard for people to relate, and that's a-okay. because many people do. you're not alone!
I go through the same thing with my parents. it's actually caused me to shut down instead of venting, and my boyfriend is currently working with me on that. He helps guide me into letting it out, constantly reassuring me. If you ever need a listener, I'm here š
I personally don't think there's such thing as too much venting but I feel like I overwhelm my mom when I vent to her all the time. If you need an ear though I'm here!
