Trying to be a good listener. I think it is hard to not give advice.

@sgraceroe Hi there, welcome to 7 cups!

I'd encourage you to visit this thread on listener basics, it includes links to information on alternatives to advice and a lot of other helpful topics

I'd also encourage you to reach out to a mentor to discuss this further and get some guidance and practice!

It's important to remember that we aren't here to tell the members what to do, how to feel, give them answers--we are here to show them empathy, validate their experiences, and help guide them to their own decisions and conclusions.

Best of luck :)
