At least that what I've been told by my parents. I was in a bad mood, ranting about what someone had said to make me mad and my mom suggested I see a counselor. I was like whatever, not like it happens all the time.

To be fair, your posts indicate that seeing a counselor would be a good idea for you.

If you want understanding from someone, you need to tell them that.

I think a day of grumpiness can be cathartic, just as a good cry can be. I am not a crier. Sometimes I need to wear an "approach at your own risk" expression, because I'm grumpy, and I want to be allowed to work through it without being told to cheer up. So, I get it Happyfarm. But, I don't share or vent on those days, I wallow. When you try to bring others down you'll get pushed back.

Being in a bad mood is one thing. Even then, most people probably don't want to be subjected to your bad moods. Ranting at someone who doesn't want to hear your rants is something else altogether.

Yes, a counselor to work on how to more effectively deal with negative emotions would be in order. It would also help you to not get angry at what other people say.

Telling you to see a counselor because of a rant is overboard. Your mother might have just been trying to get you to stop talking because she didn't want to listen to you anymore. Talk about it to someone else.

At our house we say you are allowed to be in a bad mood - alone. You are not allowed to spread you misery-juice on other people.

The only time I suggested counseling to someone was when their complaining and misery were too much to take. Are you sure this isn't a regular thing?

Yeah, I've never understood the alias. None of the OP's posts could be called "happy".

Very little info to go by. Can you give more details into the situation?
