Does ranting means you're a negative person?

I love ranting on things that annoys me. I want to play blind about them and pretend that they don't exist or don't happen but sometimes I need to be honest with my feelings and that they are something that is really happening. After I rant about it, I feel much better and I just accept that I just have to embrace them.

mostly yes, ranting gives negative vibes. you can criticize, complain, give opinions without sounding so negative. it's just how you form your sentences and how you deliver them. sometimes people tend to be sensitive, so you have to be sensitive too in delivering criticism, whether their your friend or not.

There are some people whose joy is complaining. Maybe you're one of them.

I don`t think that what you are expressing as character is pessimistic at all. I find absurd to live ina pink bubble because reality is not like that. But I also know we can discover wonders and miracles in every day life although not always and not everywhere.

I definitely don't think ranting means we are negative people, if that were the case EVERYONE here at MyLot would be considered negative people because we have all done it at some point. Lol. Being realistic is smarter in my opinion. It doesn't mean we are negative, it means we are being careful of not getting too excited about things because the situation might not turn out as well as we hope for. I am also a realistic kind of person. I am not negative all the time, but I expect the unexpected. I don't think everything is peachy when I know things can go wrong in life sometimes.

Life has two faces, and that is a statement of a fact! Realistic is different from being pessimistic. Life always works with binary oppositions which means that you cannot identify one without the other. Like for example, you can only appreciate beauty because of the presence of its opposite. I am quite like you in some sense and my husband often tells me that I am a bit pessimistic which of course not. Just like you I am telling him that I also entertain both the negative with the positive sides and that is being realistic. We cannot expect people to understand how we feel the same way we can't understand them. As long as we do not harm anyone by being true to ourselves, nothing else matters.

No, it does not. It simply means that you are not afraid to speak what is on your mind, and that you are balanced enough to be able to vent your frustrations. As long as a person is ranting in the right place. It's better to rant here on MyLot for example, than it is to yell at your boss while on the job. Just an example.

aileen hi nonot at all if all of us who rant were classified as negative there would not be many positive people left in this world. Ranting is a healthy way of expressing what bothers us and most often in effective in making some changes. to pretend all ia always well is to deny reality and thats really unhealthy.

This is how I see it. I have a brother in law and an sister in law that rants most of the time. I do think that they just have a low threshold level for patience, that is why they act that way. Living with them for the past 19 years have let me get used to it. Sometimes their ranting may be reasonable. Often times, they are just stupid rants. But what can we all do? "If you can't beat them, join them".
