It's okay to complain more, isn't it?

Are you doing it because you want to, or because you are forced to?
I think most things are done with one of these two mindsets, and I believe this state of mind significantly changes what follows.

When you are doing something you truly want to do, you don't feel much stress even if you push yourself a little, but when you are doing something you don't really want to do, just because you have no choice, you feel strangely exhausted even if you aren't pushing yourself that hard.

I think this also applies to life; I feel that the way you experience life changes depending on whether you are living because you want to live, or because you are living out of necessity for some reason you don't quite understand.

I don't think there is any need to force yourself to have grand ambitions, but I feel there is naturally a big difference between someone who lives while listening to their own inner voice and forgiving themselves for being a bit loose, and someone who is always comparing themselves to others, ignoring their own inner voice, and forcing themselves to live by perfectly conforming to society.

Even at work, people who get irritated for no reason, only care about others and keep pointing out their faults, or get hot-headed by sticking their noses into problems they shouldn't be involved in, are looked at coldly by those around them despite their efforts, and above all, they seem to find life difficult to live.
As a result, both those around them and they themselves just end up feeling miserable, and eventually, people will drift away.

Since we have been given the gift of life, it is surely better to live while enjoying ourselves, so why is this world so difficult to live in?

Why is everyone so obsessed with dragging others down?

Why does it always feel like we are being exploited by something?

Why must living honestly according to what you want to do, or what you don't want to do, be criticized by others?

It really is a difficult world to live in.

I could go on complaining forever, but for a long time, I held back because I thought complaining was a bad thing.
Since I developed depression and started going to counseling, I feel like I have spent a considerable amount of time venting my complaints.
Even now, three years later, I still complain.
However, recently, I have come to think that having a place to vent these complaints is actually a very important thing.

You can't do this, you can't do that.
In a world that demands we be more positive, I feel there are far too few places where we can vent our complaints.
As a result, aren't there more people who are lashing out at those around them because their stress isn't being processed appropriately?

I think it is okay to complain.
I believe it is important not to try to avoid feeling stress, but to vent the stress you do feel.
However, you should choose the place and the person you complain to carefully.
If possible, a third party with no conflict of interest or a professional like a counselor would be best.
Once you find a place where you can safely vent your complaints, complain to your heart's content.
