I really wish I was better at giving advice/talking to people

So many times I seem to not be able to think of good, worthy things to say. Some people are really good.

I've spent a lot of time counseling people, and I usually don't give advice. I try to help the person discover what needs to be done. Then they are more likely to do it.

I suppose I often just wish that I could say something, let alone something good! My mind just often goes blank when people are talking about personal issues, I’m so awkward! @exexec

@Strongtea Just show you care. Sometimes a pat on the back says more than words.
