Usually when someone is venting at me, I feel like I should respond somehow and say something, but I have no idea what that something could/should be. Is it better to just listen or try to comfort them in some way?

    If you feel the need to solve, of think they are looking for a solution, ask. “Are you venting or looking for advice?”

    "Would you like a hug, or a solution?
