      Just don’t try to apply those steps to a problem an SO is having… sometimes they just want to complain and have someone listen.

        It’s totally valid to ask: “Would you like my advice or would you like me to just listen?” It shows you actually care about the person and that it’s okay if they just want to vent. But you’re still there if they want and need help.
