Reply To: Is the Torah against venting?

I realize I did not properly word the question. The main point wasn’t really about lashon hara.

It’s only that I see the potential for someone to take the message of “there’s a commandment to be positive” to mean they’re not allowed to feel otherwise and are bad for feeling that way, leading to a superficial smile and unhealthy suppression for the sake of doing what they think is right.
