I don't actually have any idea how often I complain, nor where the line is between saying things because they are true but possibly so often it's a complaint (even if it's because I'm failing to consciously notice that there is something bothering me, and that's why I keep saying it). So this could be interesting. (so could wearing it when driving or on the computer, what with my wrist things getting in the way)

I'm getting 5, so I can give one to some local people, if wanted.

This bothers me for the some of the same reasons having my calendar public bothers me. It's *my* calendar, *my* time, and in this case, *my* action and *my* feelings. Wearing this bracelet supposedly gives anyone who is also wearing a bracelet of that type permission to come up to you and tell you to put up and shut up.

I'm private about my bad feelings. I don't share them with just anyone. The idea the wearing this would entitle someone else to comment on my decision to vent, whether it's healthy for me or not, is abhorrent.

Also, I'm way overreacting and have issues about anything that resembles other people controlling me. :)

I'm utterly willing to _completely ignore_ anyone else trying to tell me I'm complaining, if I disagree. This is by far not a case of anyone else can tell me what to do. I'm enough prone to thinking other people are experts in anything they sound confident in at it is! Better than I was, though; I don't automatically assume that confidence equals accuracy, and indeed am really annoyed by people who confidently assert inaccurate thing, _especially_ if it's something I do know about.
