If you need to call it "venting" then you're bitching. Otherwise you'd just be talking to him. It doesn't matter if you bitch "at" him or "to" him; it's annoying.
There are plenty of other ways to release frustration than complaining to your significant other about them. |

But it is almost never "about" him. If he does something to piss me off, I kindly tell him what it was. But if my crazy religious family does something that pisses me off, I will sometimes bitch about them to him. Like I said, everyone does it and you're spouting complete out of your ass if you say you don't. He bitches to me about his students from time to time, and I will bitch about people/things that aggravate me from time to time. It isn't like I spend hours on end bitching about people every day. I find it healthy to vent out frustrations. |

YOU control your own life, YOU decide how you want to feel and what you want to do with YOUR life. It is not the fault of anyone else for how ty your life is when you become an adult and take control. Many people have shown that they can come from the depths of hell and rise above it and have excellent lives by taking control of their own lives, working hard and stop blaming everyone else for their shortcomings. . |

The homeless still have opportunities available to them. Assuming they are not mentally ill, they do have the capacities to seek help, and I would argue that most, if not all, homeless people are aware of at least some resources meant to help them (probably shelters or foodbanks), which can thus lead them to the other resources they need. Most shelters will allow to use their address for employment purposes, and many places offer free clothes, a place to get cleaned up etc.

Can you provide a link to the thread that is from, because taking quotes without context isn't entirely fair. |

Never mind, I found it.
The first quote was in reference to an author's quote:
| quote: | | A child has the right to blame his parents for their inadequacies?because their inadequacies damaged him. |
Here is the full paragraph of my response to that:

I also don't respect someone who believes that it is both ok and should be encouraged to have an external locus of control. I had a childhood... I would wager it was worse than a large portion of the people on these boards. I don't use that however, as an excuse to wallow in self-pity and point the finger at someone else for my ups. YOU control your own life, YOU decide how you want to feel and what you want to do with YOUR life. It is not the fault of anyone else for how ty your life is when you become an adult and take control. Many people have shown that they can come from the depths of hell and rise above it and have excellent lives by taking control of their own lives, working hard and stop blaming everyone else for their shortcomings. For this dude to actually say that you SHOULD blame other people for your ty life is just pathetic. |
I also explicitly pointed out that people with mental illness are not as capable to take over their own lives.
The second quote in full was this:
| quote: | Originally posted by RandomGirl
I still don't think it would be beneficial for an addict or a mentally ill person to be pointing fingers at other people. Especially an addict... placing the blame elsewhere would arguably give them reason to continue doing what they're doing.
The mentally ill are a special case. They don't necessarily have the capacities to take control over their own lives and get or accept the help that they need. This in my opinion, then becomes the responsibility of those related to the individual.
The homeless still have opportunities available to them. Assuming they are not mentally ill, they do have the capacities to seek help, and I would argue that most, if not all, homeless people are aware of at least some resources meant to help them (probably shelters or foodbanks), which can thus lead them to the other resources they need. Most shelters will allow to use their address for employment purposes, and many places offer free clothes, a place to get cleaned up etc.
Unfortunately however, it seems that a majority of homeless people are conflicted with addiction and mental illnesses, which complicates the entire situation further.
When it comes to addiction and mental illnesses, the solutions aren't so clear. Despite this, I don't think it is beneficial for anyone to be placing the blame for their situation on someone else. I personally don't think this is a healthy thing to do, but maybe I am wrong.

So um... what was your point other than taking isolated PARTS of quotes, without any context to make it look like I said something stupid? |

| Oh please, you've said stupid like that many times before. That whole optimistic thinking thread? Hahaha. |

I don't understand what your point is... Are you just looking to argue with someone or something? |
