You want to be helpful and lend an ear whenever a friend needs to vent about a frustrating experience.
But complaining too muchcan make everyone focus on the negative.
If they cant come up with anything,ask them what they plan to do about the situation.
Either way, youll have given them the chance to ventandhelped them reflect on how to move forward.
