It's not so much the complaining itself as it is the rate at which one complains on the same subject. As I said in my previous post, there's nothing wrong with expressing your displeasure about things a few times (even if it's about different aspects of the issue) but at what point is a person going to say, "I've expressed my displeasure about this a few times and rather than continuing to be upset about this, I would rather expend my time and energy on something that makes me happy instead?" That's what I'm trying to understand. Why would someone want to continuously dwell on things that make them unhappy for long periods of time when they have the choice to do something that makes them happy instead in regards to these releases? At this point, I'm just curious as to the "why" aspect of it more so than the actual complaining itself. It's something that I've seen over the years here but never completely understood. Spanishfan provided one angle of it by just stating that they love to complain, which strangely is a valid reason, lol.

I agree with you. Expending time and energy into something that makes you happy is not the equivalent of investing time and energy into something that makes you unhappy. The difference is that one thing is good for you and the other isn't. It's like the studies that say that laughing is good for your health while constantly getting angry and upset raises your blood pressure which can cause a person to have a heart attack (this example is a bit extreme but the point is the same).
