+125 You hate when you're trying to give someone relationship advice and you keep saying things that are really cliche ("just try to move on" or "you don't need her"), because it sounds like you're just giving canned expressions even though you really mean it, amirite?

I cannot give relationship advice, and the reason for that is very simple.

That's why my strategy is to just sympathize and say I understand where they're coming from. It's tricky, because sometimes people want to be helped and other times they just want to be understood. I just choose the latter method as my default because it eliminates this problem.
