I agree with you whole heartedly. I don't believe in holding feelings in. I was married to someone who believed in that and it drove me nuts. They wanted me to do it and it drove me nuts even more. It was also one of the prime factors leading to the divorce among other things.

The only thing that you have to watch out with expressing negativity, and you said this, is that it's addicting. When I was in college, and high school, I was a very negative person. It was hard for me to be positive and I was depressed all of the time. My wife has known people that were very negative people that seemed to thrive off complaining and spewing verbal vomit.

I like reading your posts, and think that, generally, they're intelligent and interesting. I admire your ability and your courage to express what you are thinking at the moment. I am constantly afraid that what I'm saying might not be expressed well, or is flat out wrong and stupid.

Anyway, I'm rambling.
