My name is Lucille, and I know how you feel.

I'm starting to hate giving advice.
You know what happens when I give advice?
Here is a play-by-play of what happens:

Person: My life is miseraaaaaaable! -insert some petty reason that's being blown into a big deal even though it's not-

Me: (after listening to person go on and on) Well here's what I think.... -gives true, heart felt advice-

Person: That makes sense, thanks for listening.

*Next day*

Person: I HATE LIFE FOR THE SAME EXACT REASON I DID YESTERDAY!

It seems like no matter how much I listen, how much I try...
People never take the advice I offer.
I don't think they want advice, I think they want attention about the problem.
Ninety percent of the time the "problem" their crying over is something that doesn't amount to
anything.

It's frustrating.
