question

[low_delta]

So how should I feel about a friend who wants someone to listen when he is troubled, but doesn't want hear any advice or suggestions? A friend who just wants a sounding board, but not someone to help? How can one give nothing but sympathy? How can one give only sympathy when one sees a real explanation or solution?

I feel like the person doesn't value our friendship as much as I do.

But so many of the things he complains about have simple explanations, and he seems to want them.
