Grunpiness, sulking, whining about the past, present or future: does it serve a purpose?

Grunpiness, sulking, whining about the past, present or future: does it serve a purpose?

Many purposes (in moderation) - an emotional screen for calculation or (deserved) cynicism, weariness, and sort-of-polite disagreement.  And afterward, a source of self-dissatisfaction plus a well of renewed contact:  apologies are so useful!

Apologies, the most precious and effective of interactions, a tool right up there with thumbs, unique to humanity, so underused.

grumpy smurf was always my favorite smurf - he was so iconic.  I don't like being grumpy and I don't like when others are grumpy but I do think there is some benefit.  It fills a need when you are unhappy about something but either you can't or won't put it in words but it still seems to move the matter out of your syste.

Grumpiness annoys me in myself, it means my Let It Go switch is stuck and I have to force it manually. It concerns me in others. I live with someone that gets grumpy sometimes, I find ignoring it lets him flip his own switch. We got years of practice.

Absolutes fuel grumpiness. I vote every category in the spirit of moderation and being noncommittal.

Bitching to bitch sounds like a bad poem
Whining with a point or cause I think is needed.
