Personally I don't see the point of venting or complaining if you're not asking for advice, and that it's ridiculous to get upset when people hand it out. No one's a mindreader.

THANK YOU. I've learned by osmosis that I should listen sympathetically to endless venting but it bugs me that people are taking up my time and very limited energy by talking about stuff they have no intention of changing. I'm happy to help with practical matters, brainstorming etc, but listening to round #97 of the same vent? No thanks.

I've recently started saying that I can't cope with being a free counsellor, any more than I can be a free physiotherapist or GP. That has slowed the flood of venting somewhat, and has protected by own mental health considerably.

op of thread.

I don't mind venting if its soemthing they can't do anything about or something the person is trying to change. I get that sometimes nothing else can be done because of otuside forces like the annoying person is a coworker of the venter or a parent that they have to live with. Or if they are open to suggestion or ideas, whatever, it's cool, sometimes listening is all that can be done to help them

It's exactly what you said though. "talking about stuff they have no intention of changing" that only they have the power to do - like quitting smoking, or not buying bags. That is what I can't stand
