Can a person suppress the urge to rant?

Sometimes it's better to rant....it lets you get your feeling out and understand yourself better, but I agree sometimes it sends people away.. but maybe that's when you know who cares enough about you to listen and who doesn't... ranting is not so bad, it expreses what you're about and who you are..no one's perfect, we can't just smile and act like everyhing is ok all the time... feel free to express what is bothering you.

It is possible, but it all depends if the person is willing to suppress the urge or not.

However, I don't think this is necessary. Ranting is good for you, after you say all you have to say you look at things differently and you feel better. Ranting to others might be tiresome to them, so instead why don't you try to write things down? It will help you feel better and to express yourself. That's what I do anyway.

Your emotions are completely under your control, unless you have a mental illness that interferes with that.

Just because you have the urge to rant, laugh, cry, scream, or anything else doesn't mean you have to. The urge just means a desire (maybe a strong one) exists, but it's up to you to follow through or not. If it's inappropriate to do so, then don't follow through.

Few people like to listen to rants...but a good friend will from time to time because sometimes we just need to get something off our chest.

Well since I'm in law school, that is almost a daily occurrence for most of us. And that way we get it all out in the open.

Plus when in the court room, that pretty much all you hear anyway.

Feel better and try to find someway to let off a little steam.

If you have a good on line buddy, why not rant to them sometimes.

I always call up a good friend and rant and rave to her.

You can suppress your feelings, but it's not good for you to

do that all the time.

Take care

The word " Ranting" reminds me of the atheists over in the Religion and Spirituality section

Hello my friend,

Go to www.craiglist.com and click on your country. After clicking your country you will find a subtitle called Personal under that will be rants and raves. Feel free to rant all you want. Have a great day!

I can never seem to suppress any of my emotions. That's why I have such great friends, who always listen to me rant.

Garry, feel free to rant to me anytime you feel the need :)

Sometimes using anger managment strategies usually help. My favorite anger management strategy is to write angry letter about someone or something on paper but then throw away or tear apart those letters when I'm done.

Humility. I cease to cherish my own opinion. It's natural to have opinions and they count, but it is arrogant to assUMe that the whole world wants to hear me lecture on my own thing.

Love of learning. I already know my own opinion. Yours I must learn and won't be able to learn it if I am busy broadcasting my own.

i do no longer understand approximately all this, yet no person might desire to be allowed to tension his flavor in track or noise on anybody for 2 or 3 blocks around him. rules approximately such offensive habit might desire to be lots stricter.
