Venting There doesn't need to be a solution to vent

[SilentSadness]

A lot of the time people vent and I see people say things like "what will you do about it" or "stop complaining and find a solution" and I think it's pointless to say things like this because there are lots of problems that don't have a solution. Sometimes people just want to talk about their bad experiences without being told they're not "productive" because they don't have a solution. It's not reasonable to insist someone needs to know how to fix a problem that's not their fault, I think it's just delusional how a lot of people say to only focus on the positive things.

Completely agreed. Not every problem has a solution, and even if they do, not every problem needs to be solved right away. Sometimes letting someone vent, be heard, and be comforted is all they really need at that moment.

Sometimes people just want to vent and that's good enough. Then people make it worse by saying those comments like you mentioned like "stop complaining" since they have 0 empathy towards others. And they wonder why so many people suffer.

Or the worst I hate to hear is: "At least you're not suffering like so & so." It makes me feel like I'm being gaslighted by the universe, like am I a bad person for feeling severally depressed while I'm physically healthy?
Terrible to get your feelings invalidated, or like one can't vent if they do not have an immediate solution. I hear you on that one.
