Default Why do people vent on h-a so much?

I've noticed that a whole lot of the threads lately are people posting about random crap that has pissed them off at some point in the day.

While this is definitely fine every now and again, it seems like certain people (you know who you are) make it a daily--if not more often--habit.

Firstly, stop being so angry at everything.

Secondly, a real live person is a much more satisfying outlet than an anonymous forum.

Because if you tell everyone about the crap in your life you sound like a whiney bitch. Might as well just write it out on the internet where you don't even really know anyone.

It's like a cascading spiral of negativity in here sometimes.

One person bitches about one thing, then someone else replies bitchingly, then they go start a thread bitching about some other thing, etc.

Negative emotions beget more negative emotions. Both from one person to another and within one person.

Shit, can't anybody talk about something that makes them happy?

not everyone can ctrl their anger and frustration as good as some of us
my gf has a pretty short fuse and its taxing to calm her down or cheer her up

han is our sanctuary
we have friends here
some members consider han family
so they come to han for support
