No you have a problem doesn't matter if it's big or small you as a human have the right to talk about it, it's healthy to talk about your problems .

No. They aren't right whatsoever. If what happened to you impacted you physically, emotionally, mentally in a negative way, then talking about it isn't complaining. You're simply trying to speak to someone about your feelings and if they don't like it, you should talk to a professional or someone that can be more empathetic.

It's perfectly normal to express how you're feeling. It's not meant to be carried forever. You're more than welcome to connect to the listeners here, who are here for you to talk to. I'm sorry you went through that, but don't think it's abnormal, or that you're alone for wanting to express yourself! :)
