My brother gets on me for ranting about shit, but it's usually not a problem or anything. He's just like 'so you think that's funny?? why do you think that's funny?! It's NOT funny!!'

Brothers... gotta love em... gotta love annoying them :D

so I'm like 'i do this around my friends to, nobody ever brings it up NEARLY as much as you do' and he says 'that's cuz their your FRIENDS, it's ANNOYING, don't be a dumbass and QUIT!' to which I say 'it's what I do, if what I do annoys said friends I wouldn't be friends with them' :|.

There's a difference between ranting and that. There's merit to rants and stuff - the problem is when it turns to just negativity, it's just an energy sucker.

I say that as someone who officially acknowledges being a bit of a jerk and, intentionally or not, sapping energy from people in the exact way Jasper describes. I'm really sorry to those of you who I've done it to :(

That behavior is what my father likes to call "Psychic Vampires". They just suck all your energy, ruin your vibe, spoil your buzz, harsh your mellow, etc.

Yeah I guess there is a difference. Like this kid I used to work with, who was like....DESPARATELY nerdy (28 years old, lived with mom, wears business dress clothes EVERYWHERE, pocket protector, the like). Which is fine actually, I'm not knocking the kid, but the problem is, he was one of these vampires. He just exuded negativity, and beat himself up whenever possible. WHENEVER POSSIBLE. Spilling a few drops of coffee on his shirt turns into "I suck, I'll never have a girlfriend." So me and this girl from work tried really hard for a couple of years to include him in everything, get him outta the house, get him out and about, try and build some social confidence for the guy. We DID manage to get him to move outta his folks place finally and attempt to have a life of his own, but the rest of it didn't work. And after you spend that kind of energy and effort trying to help somebody and they don't want it, you just sorta give up. (I'm too nice for my own good)

I think people shouldn't try to conceal their emotions from friends or significant others. That's just a bad idea. If you're in a negative state of mind, there's nothing worse than faking positiveness. As long as your negativity is not a constant demand for others' attention, I think that's all fair game.

That said, I think negativity should only be allowed if it's really justified and as long as you're working to change things. I've got a lot of respect for people who are fatalistic and work hard. I've not got that much respect for people who are fatalistic and just wallow in their own misery, spreading it all over other people. I think needing to be positive, fun and pleasant around people all the time is not a requirement for friendship or any form of relationship. On the other hand emotional openness should be.

But I think we've kinda got off track.

How's that? If you pretend long enough/well enough, the false positivity would take over the negativity and become real, wouldn't it? Fake it til you make it, and all that jazz?

More like "fake it until you start getting a eye twitch". :roll: Holding in emotions is rarely a good idea.

Isn't that kind of what trust/intimacy is? Being able to show your whole self to somebody?

Are you kidding? Relationships have to be built on deceit and trickery. You can't be intimate, then the other person will know the real you and all. No no, far better to get some good shoes and do whatever lies are required to follow Beo's guides.
