“Do you want to talk about it or be distracted from it” is honestly the best thing you can say to me when I say im sad/in pain etc.
this is really good advice to say to anyone who is upset
Alsooo may I add: “do you want advice or do you just want to vent?” Is also good to add because often unsoliticited advice can further hurt someone who really just wanted a listening ear.
Support mode vs fixit mode is another good way to think about it.
yes, this is wonderful advice!!
Important word of caution: ‘do you want to talk about it or do you just want to whine’ is NOT an acceptable substitute of the above lmao
