Interesting Zues, I would say negativity doesn't necessarily mean you get to the boiling point, but it's always poor me, complain, complain, excuse, complain etc. I think negativity is an ongoing attitude without making any effort to change.

Venting on the other hand is boiling over, getting over it, moving on and making the needed changes (if applicable). I say if applicable because sometimes venting is about something that isn't in our control (our H/W) but we need to boil over to let go.

Sorry for the hi-jack, I saw negativity and sparked my interest because I have been accused over the past years of being negative...
