Complaining in my favourite.

moan (n.)
c.1200, "lamentation, mourning, weeping; complaining, the expressing of complaints; a complaint; lover's complaint; accusation, charge," probably from an unrecorded Old English *man "complaint," related to Old English mænan "complain, moan," also "tell, intend, signify" (see mean (v.1)); but OED discounts this connection. Meaning "long, low inarticulate murmur from some prolonged pain" is first recorded 1670s, "with onomatopoeic suggestion" [OED].
moan (v.)
mid-13c., "mourn (someone); regret, bewail;" c.1300, "to lament, grieve; utter moans;" probably from Old English *manan, related to mænan "to lament" (see moan (n.)). From 1724 as "to make a low, mournful sound." Related: Moaned; moaning.

You're right - keep your negative emotions bottled up, everyone. That's smart.

It's fun for everyone when they explode, no?

It's therapeutic.

Some people just can't keep silent. When something angers them or makes them unhappy, they like the vent their frustration out. The most common of which is to moan or complain. I find it hard to keep things pent up inside me, so when something p*sses me off I lash out.

For example, years ago I bought a Metallica t-shirt when I went to Marley Park in 09. I really liked it, but it went missing. I remember searching my room for it, and then the rest of the house because I know it didn't grow legs and walk out of the house. I've asked the rest of my family if they saw it but they were no help too. But yeah, I remember moaning about it all day. But whatever that was years ago.

But you didn't ask "Why do you let everything annoy you and stress you out?"

You asked "Why do you moan?"

That's not the same thing.

Moaning is the act of verbalising the things that are annoying you.

Did you mean your question to be "Why do you let things annoy you?"

You said, quite rightly, that it didn't get up and walk out of the house!

I knew a lady called Liza ,she was a terrible moan a

Actually, on mature reflection, I agree with the OP; all of this incontinent gushing of emotion is indeed deleterious to people as individuals and society as a whole.

We need to keep our negative emotions and hatred bottled up; it's the only way we can feed on the silent rage which as we grow older is the sole source of self-worth. Where would we be without our burning inner hatred?

--LOS--

Because moaning is what brings about change. Why so easily accept things as they are.

Moaning is best in bed though

MultiUmm

It's healthy. If something is bothering us we need to vent about it, otherwise it sits inside of us, festers and becomes a bigger deal then it ever should be.

If I knew I would have found it by now. I had suspicions but it's no use now.

Youtube Comments is like a venting cooling area for humanity, I'd imagine we'd have had WW3 at this point without it.

It's also a jarring thought to know that some 14 year old born in the year 2000, could be replying to you with "this suxxxxxxxxxx"

Its human nature and to be fair there is plenty to moan about in this country!! :rolleyes:;)

Some people seem to do nothing else. Can't be good for them.

mickydoomsux

A good articulate moan about something is great.

It's fools complaining about stuff they barely understand or won't educate themselves about that annoys me.

Shane-KornSpace

I love a good rant every now and then to vent my anger.
