Let’s get this right out there..venting IS complaining. Same thing. On average people complain 15-30 times per day. Imagine if we laughed 30 times a day? Ask yourself: does venting really make you feel better? Venting has been called a healthy behavior but we are going to challenge that today with some neuroscience.
