Reply to comment by Geshman in LPT Request: What do I do/say when someone is venting to me? by lamelumi_

The first two on this list are key. A lot of times people venting just want you to go ‘mmm yeah’, ‘oh that sucks’, ‘I can’t believe that happened to you’

Sorting out those times from the people who want advice is important

Yup, it definitely helps with my spouse. Sometimes she doesn't want me to fix something she just wants me to listen
