I have a friend who’s been back and forth with her current bf for 7 years and after the most recent breakup I told her if she chooses to go back, she’s not allowed to complain to me

I think this might come in part to the big psych pop makeover of “validation” that’s occurred over the last 5

I need to emotionally regulate before I can solve my problems. Going straight to solutions can feel like the other person doesn’t think I’m capable and knowledgeable

This. My friends and I vent about work things a fair amount, but that's mostly things that are outside our control. And almost never something that would be solved by moving jobs (and the pros of current job outweigh pros of leaving even if moving jobs would solve that specific issue)

I think what people want is the space to feel their upset with someone safe and maybe then they'll be open to solutions but they need to process the emotions that come with facing an issue

I don’t know if I’d have survived without my friends that let me continuously vent until I finally got myself sorted. Now I get to do that for them.

I have a friend who had a bad boyfriend, who became a bad fiancé, who became a bad husband, and then a bad father. She is FINALLY getting divorced and phew, I’m beyond ready for it.

💯 I don’t always have the bandwidth to provide emotional support or advice for an ongoing optional problem.

also know your friends, know which one will automatically go to solutions mode unless you'll say other wise and with whom you can vent free

I’ve taken to asking “are you looking for advice or just venting” which seems to work well in most situations

My best friend and I will ask: do you want to vent or do you want help or solutions?

My mom was always a cry/let it out and then “what’s the plan?” Or “what are we going to do about it?”.

I've asked a friend "do you want to rant or are we solving a problem" so I know how to listen.

I have two friends that are on/off with each other all the time, and the last time they swung back to “on,” I told them both I don’t want to hear about it anymore. Like, y’all recognize your patterns

I’m so sick of my mom friends complaining about things that they can easily fix, but just refuse to.
