Nobody Cares About Your ‘Similar Experience’
Apr 29, 2023
When people share their problems, they are not asking for a solution.
They do not need to hear your 'similar experience’.
They don’t need advice.
None of that is helpful.
People want to be heard!
Life is difficult, and sometimes we can be caught in a continuous loop of problems. Regardless of a person's strength, life can feel lonely when your plate is filled with endless problems.
During such times, it is important to listen to understand and not listen to respond.
By listening, you provide the other person with comfort and acknowledgement that it’s going to be okay even though they don’t have the solution right now.
