Approval Not Needed

When a person vents here they don't need you commanding them to act differently.
You have every right to disagree, of course.
But a vent isn't really asking advice or for approval.
Unless ,the asking for advice is included in the venting.
It's a way of relieving stress and not an invitation to belittle,critize ,or attack.
I see tons of these vents I disagree with,but have the curtsey to scroll past if I don't understand where they are coming from.
Some ask for advice ,when this happens, on occasion,I answer with my point of view.
If you or I ask advice we are going to get varying ideas.
I understand and accept that.
I rarely ask advice publicly,I choose to that mostly privately.

It took me a long time to catch on to that.

Maybe because I was a caseworker. When people vented to me they wanted me to do something about it.

You're right.

@Mamapolo2016 Advice is one thing demanding you do as they think you should is never cool.
I don't see you as the latter.
