[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 263665, member: 1550"] I'm pretty direct too, but I've learned through the years that not everyone wants my advice. Sometimes they just want to vent. It's hard to hold my tongue at times and sometimes I just avoid a person who wants to talk about the same thing over and over again, but wants no feedback and won't help the situation. I have learned to be more gentle though. If somebody keeps repeating a problem and has done nothing to change anything, I will often say, without scolding, "So what do you think you can do to change it?" If they say "Nothing" then I say, "Well, then nothing will change." [/QUOTE]
