Empathy vs Practical advice?? Which do you prefer??? (1 Viewer)

[SnowWhite]

My opinion is on the more unpopular side. Imho empathy is really overrated. It even makes me cringe. I take any advice, if I vent its because I wanna get out of the situation and wanna know any option out there.

Well, what do YOU prefer to hear in case you vent?

A combination of both. I can’t do anything about the situation if someone just relates to me. But if the person doesn’t understand what I’ve been through, how accurate is their advice and I still feel like I’m alone in the situation

It really depends on the situation and what I need advice for
