bloodyrosemccoy: (Not So Lucky)
[personal profile] bloodyrosemccoy
Somehow, without my realizing it, someone waved a magic wand and turned me into a minor name player in a TV serial. The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of other people’s problems appearing in my life—and I am completely useless at other people’s problems. I mostly just sit there and say “Gee, that’s too bad” and offer them more food. This had better blow over soon, or I will rack up one hell of a grocery bill.

Speaking as someone who's been bending your ear about a lot of problems over the past half-decade, your "Gee, that's too bad"s haven't been entirely useless, for the record. I don't have any advice about the food.

That's reassuring, at least!

There are worse approaches than empathetic listening and comfort food.

Have you tried offering tea, instead?

I don't know. My first three steps when someone comes to me upset are:

1. offer hot beverage
2. offer food
3. then, maybe, try and thinking of actual decent advise.

I always offer tea! It's pretty much automatic.
