Was this 'moaning'?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm just expressive. People don't say I moan all the time now as an adult, what I do more is worry.

As a child I did moan a lot. Like when my cousin wanted to ride his bike around the park instead of playing on the swings with me (even though I had my other cousin to play on the swings with), I just had something against it for some reason and I pulled a sulky face and whined "ohhhhh, why do you have to?" And my cousin was like "why do you always have to moan?"

I "moan" on here more than I do in real life. But I do have an anxiety disorder, and yes I am a pessimist. I usually think that something bad is going to happen to me because it happens to other people. Sometimes I wonder how I'm still alive because of all the ways people die every day (excluding old age). Why hasn't it happened to me if danger is lurking in every corner? The girl who got murdered in my city by a complete stranger; she might have said "there's very little chance I'll be murdered" then it happened. Or people who died in a plane crash. The chances of a plane crashing are very tiny, but every person who boards a plane still has the same chance of being in a plane crash.

TL; DR - I have taught myself to only "moan" in moderation or if others are feeling the same way and are "moaning" too. I vent the feelings on WP that I feel I can't vent offline due to the fear that it will go over my "moaning limit".
On the other hand, I did read somewhere that a lot of everyday verbal social interaction among humans is actually moaning.
