If you are wanting to vent, make sure it is to someone who wont gossip to others! Venting can be a great way to get things off of your chest however it is risky that the person may tell others about what you have said. Everyone moves on in different amounts of time, different events may vary in time aswell

Like many things, there is such a thing as too much venting. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but if you find that what you're venting is all you ever think about, you may actually be ruminating, which isn't very healthy. If you feel that you are speaking too obsessively about a situation, then sometimes you should try distracting yourself from it instead. it's difficult, but make a conscious effort to derail upsetting thoughts to something else.

Every individual processes emotions at a different pace, so how long it would take to move on depends on how much effort you are willing in to speaking your mind, getting perspectives of different people and processing everything you have inside. And yes I'd say venting is the best way to move on, just make sure you are venting it all out and then dealing with your emotions. Anger covers pain, venting removes anger but the underlying emotion beneath your anger needs to be processed and healed !

Venting is a good way to move on, so long as it’s healthy. Moving on takes a different amount of time for everyone so don’t feel you have to move on quickly or years after what’s occurred.

Is venting good? Of course, if someone is really listening to you. Moving on could take forever. It depends on you, the situation and so on.

I believe that venting is a great strategy to get out all of my negative feelings. After I vent, I try to make a plan to move forward. I do not believe that there is a time limit on anything.

I think that vent is an excellent step to moving on, but thats not all. You need to accept aswell. There is not set time on how long it should taje you to move in. Go at your own pace❤

It can help to move on, there are many different stages to moving on but the time scale differs from person to person. This is because some people move through certain stages faster than others. This will also depend on what the person is going through and will change between circumstances. However these stages can be adapted. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/tech-support/201409/5-strategies-help-you-move

People usually vent or talk to friends and others in order to move on because it allows them to "relive" a moment in the past relationship. Moving on is different for everyone so venting may or may not work for everyone and sometimes too much can annoy others. One suggestion is to keep a journal and pour out your thoughts and feelings. Venting too much can keep you in the past. Focus on the present and the now. Make plans, go out, and keep your mind off of it. The time it takes to move on is different for everyone.

what do you mean by venting? yes it can be a good way to get your emotions out. Moving on can take more time than we initially anticipate. Sometimes moving on can take a lot more time than we really know, it can take days, months or even years to move on from something, especially if it has affected you in a deep and profound way. If something was an important event to us, it can take immensely long time to move on. It can be a real challenge, but we can do it. Only through acknowledging the task can we really overcome it.
