If criticism regarding their behaviour counts as bitching, of course. Friends treat each other well but also hold each other accountable. And sometimes I want to corroborate my impressions by telling others about how I assess something to make sure that I am not overreacting.

Guilty

Yup and almost every time I regretted that I did it.

Of course.

Probably at some point. 😁

Of course.

Yes, it's probably something I have bitched about to their face anyway

Yes. Difficult to avoid when you try to tell them directly that there's a problem and they're just like "lol what no way, you've changed"

Hm, no, not bitching. But my friends are not beyond critique. We all discuss our disappointments and shortcomings among us from time to time. But not frequently.

No

All the time. It's what women do.

Lol. Haven’t we all.

yes but it was justified

No. I kinda state my arguments without bs if any.

Everyone has done this, you can’t not do it.
