You know what really grinds my gears?

True, true....there are too many individuals out there that have so much pride in themselves, they have no humility left towards others. They can't be happy for other peoples accomplishments because they can't see past theirs. I guarantee those are the same people who just wait for their turn to talk instead of actually listening to other people in a conversation.

Griping about anything on an ongoing basis can be annoying. Sometimes though, it's good to vent. In fact, I've often learned things about people I didn't realize by griping about them to other people. I'm not too proud to admit that I have made unfair judgements about other people. On the other hand, I'm glad that I learned I was wrong on some occasions. I'd rather have confidence in people, even if it means knowing I was wrong in the beginning, than go on having misconceptions and keeping them to myself. I'm not necessarily endorsing complaining, but yes, I believe venting is a healthy, and sometimes educational, practice.
