This one rings truer than true. There have been hundreds of times I’ve told someone something — something that concerns me, a personal issue, an issue with another person — and instead of listening, they want to solve a problem. What they view as my problem, as if I am a puzzle to be solved. I cannot emphasize this enough, Dear Readers, if someone comes to you with a concern, just listen. If they ask for advice, that’s when you offer advice. Try listening. It’s nice.
