No One Wants to Hear the Venting (except your tarot reader)
It's not your imagination: Times are really hard. Most days we actually are in overwhelm. That is changing much in the dynamics of relationships.
The Atlantic nails it:
"Complaining too much sometimes gets framed as not just
irritating but 'toxic,' and sharing problems is sometimes described as 'trauma
dumping.' Those on the receiving end of complaints bemoan their status as
the 'therapist friend.' The message is: Vent with caution."
Even in those contexts labeled "support groups" you might have noticed some glaze-over when a member vents instead of describing a situation and sketching out a solution. To use that old concept dating back to the late 1960s counterculture: People just can't handle that.
But venting is a path to getting to the point of solution. Even if that solution is acceptance. That's the function we tarot readers serve.
We listen. We affirm what is being shared. We direct the conversation to some kind of resolution. The objective is to transform the rant into a platform on which to move forward. Yes, that's eating at you. I understand. The universe has your back. Now what are your options ...
Meanwhile, back in the orbit of friendships it's wise to hold back on how much negative you share. The exception is if you really want a solution offered. Otherwise, what used to be known as "trouble talk" can damage a relationship rather than enhance bonding. What deepens a friendship is a track record for mutual problem-solving.
