Letting off steam, whatever you call it, it's a human function as vital as any other involuntary action. The challenge is how to deal with the person doing the venting. By default, or necessity, I say nothing. I recognize venting as a release and accept that I have been "chosen" as the designated "ventee."
Most of the time, venting is just that. Nothing to read below the surface, but sometimes, I know it has to do with insecurities we harbour. Think about this. Everyone has someone that just grates on our nerves. Have you ever really looked deep into what it is that annoys us? Sure, that person may do a horrible job, or is just an idiot, but, so what? What else is there? Is it that they get away with it? Is it that they get attention? I feel that if we all started with being truthful to ourselves we'd see areas where we need to change or at least acknowledge. Insecurity is a part of life too! Why is it we are obsessed with perfection? It clearly has no real benefit. Perfection sucks! Think about the qualities you like in your partner or friends and tell me if they are perfect or if it's the little crazy things that you dig.
