I think that everyone complains! I complain! Complaining is natural and normal. And I think a lot of us use LJ to complain because we can complain to people who don't know any of the involved parties. It's less hurtful, in some ways, especially if you do really know that you're just doing it to vent.
And sometimes, finding positives can be hard!
It's mostly that I feel like when you're just getting to know a group of people, you have the choice to decide how you want them to know you, how you want to be known among them. You could be the funny one, the one who always writes embarrassing sex stories, the one who writes beautiful sad stories, the experimental one, the political one. You get to pick! Using an entry to complain is wasting an opportunity to be known as something more awesome than a complainer.
