in relationships its hard to know which is called for...


sometimes people are just venting and sometimes they want feedback,,how do you determine which situation it is?

I'm more of a to the point person who listens unless I'm asked a question or asked for help,,,,but there are those who expect the need to be implied without asking you,,,

I am more of a listener. I have a friend who talks to me about divorcing her husband. I have learned that sometimes she just gets so angry about his drinking that she gets fed up. I never say anything when she starts talking about this because I know she loves him and won't leave him. I just let her vent.

You can probably offer advice either way. However, if they say they're just venting and don't want help, don't get offended when they don't take your advice.

Talking more than they probably should: venting, hurt, upset.

Asking loads of questions: advice/feedback.

Serious talk calls for some alcohol / trees. Like the film 'Matrix' : I offer the blue / red pill & let em' choose.

No one will ever actually fix it, without actually caring intensely about what they don't like.
