Vent, but work to heal the underlying trauma. I’ve definitely met people with personality disorders that vent constantly, but they don’t actually work on healing the damage and developing orthopraxia. If your perception of self or others seems destructive (even if you feel it’s true) try discussing it with a professional. Maybe there’s no issue, but maybe you’ll get some tools to keep you from engaging in destructive behavior
