Complaining is a way to show desperation and dissatisfaction.

It can give a person a sense of relief by thinking that they  are  able to blurt out the negative emotions they feel.

On the other hand, some people complain when they think things are running out of hand.

For example, a person may be deeply affected by the closure of his company, rejection from a loved-one, or being caught in a traffic.
