[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't see it working with the help-rejecting complainers in my life but am interested in seeing posts from anyone who it has worked for. I think I'd struggle too much to overvalidate without sarcasm. [/quote] Yeah lack of sarcasm makes it a high risk strategy!! For Op here, my sister is having a hard time and has no one else, so I’m trying to be there for her but I need to channel it to less draining conversation. I usually try the medium chill, but that tends to downplay drama “well at least the update is done” and that is NOT the right approach. I have to strictly say, “that is a annoying” or what not, but then get harassed for not paying attention. I find a great quote which said venting is good but is something you do on your own (at the gym, writing things down, etc) but complaining is not venting. I wish I could send to her but know it would just escalate things [/quote]
