The author says, when we vent destructively or dump our emotions onto others, we escalate our conflicts and become unable to identify or stick to our real priorities. We fail to see the forest for the trees and have difficulty remembering what is truly important. We tend to behave destructively, rapidly reach impasse, and assume it is impossible to solve our problems.
I have seen this reaction in myself and others. When I calmly think about the situation and process it internally I always make a better decision. When I vent to others they seem to add their issues to the problem and it escalates.
