Scores of studies have shown that venting doesn't soothe anger; it fuels it.

Susan Cain on Counterproductive Venting
Susan Cain is a renowned author and speaker, best known for her groundbreaking work on introversion, notably through her book "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking." In this work, Cain explores the undervalued strengths of introverts in a society that often favors extroversion. She argues for the recognition and appreciation of the quiet power of introverts. Additionally, Cain provides insights into emotional management, challenging the common belief that venting anger is therapeutic. She suggests that this approach may not be effective in soothing anger, advocating for more reflective and introspective methods consistent with introverted tendencies.
