I find that the most annoying aspects of life make the best comics. And the best moments of life don't need to be drawn or processed, they're perfect just the way they are.
Ooooh, I actually love that take as well. The thing is - I sometimes get so tired of my own whiny voice. Maybe partly because I often run into similar issues and I feel like my reader will think: there she goes again! But, I've also had instances where something annoying happened and I knew in that moment it would make a great cartoon and that really helped me putting it into perspective.
I'll wager your reader will probably relate to many of your grievances. For example, I'm reading a David Sedaris book that someone gave me, and all he does is whine and complain, but its funny! I think that so long as we can observe our own grumpiness with humor, and make fun of ourselves for it, there's a place for it in art. And if no one else cares and it just lightens your heart to draw it out, that's reason enough.
I am such an extrovert that I genuinely don't realise how I'm feeling sometimes until I have talked something through, still catches me off guard! - then I can begin to find or see the humour.

Sometimes acknowledging our grump can help to turn it round...or sometimes just gives it a name 🤷
Oh for sure! Just sitting with whatever you're feeling helps. And I think I need to draw about it in order to bring up the patience for that.
