When some of us are in conflict – or even before and afterwards – we tend to complain about the other person and the things they said or did. While we might feel totally justified with our plaints, we may also sound righteous, blameful and annoying. Not everyone who listens to us particularly enjoys, or necessarily cares, to hear us vent. They may call it whining.
How might you vent what stresses you about a conflict in a way that doesn’t sound like whining?
