I've been giving a lot of advice this week, it seems like. (Some of it unsolicited, which I felt bad about and apologized for. Though maybe it was welcome and useful; I really have no idea.) Not really telling people what to do (except for the aforementioned unsolicited incident--again, sorry), but sharing my experiences in ways that help illuminate (hopefully) the crux of a current dilemma. Offering a turn of phrase or different angle that helps them see things a little differently, maybe a little more positively. This makes me feel useful and important and warm inside, and I think I'm pretty good at it.
It's also so fucking ironic, it makes me want to scream.
