People don't want solutions, they want to bitch endlessly and have a horde of strangers agree with them. Then they can also bitch about nothing improving!

People in my life get the benefit of "are you looking for solutions or are you looking for empathy?" Randos on the Internet don't get to use everyone else as free therapists.

    Yeah, if you want me to hear your endless bitching, you at least need to invite me for drinks (or potluck, if you don't drink) sometimes. Even then, I might just offer some advice every once in a while. A little bit of tough love is sometimes necessary.
