Me: <tells friends how I’m feeling> Friends: “that sucks.”

Turns out talking about your feelings doesn’t help if no one can help with the problem.

There's two sides to that coin though. Often times people just want to vent and trying to solve all their problems for them can be frustrating.

Totally agree, but unless you’re comfortable asking which one the person with the problem would prefer, it can be challenging to know which path to take.

I guess you could argue that if you’re not comfortable enough with this person to ask, then the person might not be comfortable seeking solutions.

My relationship with my spouse massively improved when we started telling each other which we prefer for each situation.
