People don't need to know about your
problems. Keep such things to yourself. Stop lurking around for a
fresh victim to lambast with your sorrows. If you need to talk, do so
with a close friend, but don't develop the habit of venting to
whoever will listen. People may tolerate your lamentations politely,
but will disappear when the opportunity presents itself, thankful to slip
away. Serial-venters are like the grim reaper, wandering about,
darkening the rooms they enter, killing plants and leaving corpses in
their wake. Such people are, if possible, avoided, and if not,
dreaded. No one enjoys keeping company with an emotional vampire who
sucks the life out of them. Talk to yourself, or your pet if you
must, but avoid spreading your misery among the populace. People
don't need to know about your problems. Keep such things to yourself,
or better yet, solve them.
