Complain: to state displeasure
Nag: to repeatedly tell someone to do something
Whine: to state displeasure in a annoying fashion
Bitch: largely similar to whine. To say bitch is more rude then to say whine.

complain - when something you don’t like/agree with happens/occurs
i.e. - “Why do I get the smallest room?”
- “This is the only one left; stop complaining.”
nag - to keep bringing up a certain topic, to pester someone (with the same thing) without fail (usually a favor/command)
i.e. “My dad keeps nagging me to clean my room.”
whine - similar to complain, typically when someone complains constantly or repeatedly
i.e. “If you don’t stop whining, we won’t go at all!”
bitch - to criticize, to talk hatefully about someone; to slander
i.e. “Everybody was bitching about their colleagues.”
(— almost all of them have multiples meanings, these are the meanings that make them related to each other/most common)

@Inuboii Kind of, but nag is directed at someone.
(I accidentally wrote “multiples” instead of “multiple” at the end btw)
