Nothing wrong with that, OP.

I've always kind of assumed that my friends listened to at least half my complaints and thought I was being stupid or an asshole or hilariously whiny. Just like I think half of the shit people bitch to me about is ridiculous. Sometimes part of being a friend is nodding along and making sympathetic noises even if you're inwardly rolling your eyes.

Why complain to them, then? If I think my friends would only be listening out of pity or inwardly laughing/rolling their eyes, I wouldn't tell them about it.

Hard same.

Because... hindsight?

I mean, I don't think anyone talks to someone thinking "yep, today I am sure going to annoy the shit out of my friends by whining about petty bullshit!" But that doesn't mean it never happens.

I'm self-aware enough to know that sometimes my friends aren't that interested in what I'm saying, or that sometimes I'm just being a shithead punk about things, or whatever. That doesn't mean that in that moment I'm aware of how I'm coming across or how disinterested they might be. It's only after the fact that I can look back and realize they were probably just humoring me or being nice.

It's like the stereotype about vacation or baby pictures. Everyone wants to show off their own but everyone is stuck being polite when other people show off theirs. Complaints are the same way, they're important to the person who owns them and not that important to everyone else. And that's okay!
