Sometimes what's important is just sharing that you have a problem, and get support. If it's a complicated problem, giving a solution is not the most careful answer you can give. For instance "I just discovered my spouse cheated on me" "oh, leave that asshole now!".
- kortilla 3y agoThat’s not what I asked. I asked about why it was labeled that, not why there are two different expected behaviors.
- darkwater 3y agoYou asked > How is helping someone with a solution “status and confrontation”? I answered with an example > "I just discovered my spouse cheated on me" "oh, leave that asshole now!". This would be giving a solution but it would just be a display of status.
- kortilla 3y agoGiving a solution is not a display of status unless you make it about yourself.
- rgoulter 3y ago'Suggesting a solution' somewhat indicates that the person receiving the suggestion didn't think of it (or wouldn't have thought of it, or couldn't have thought of it). -- Giving a solution is kinda like "see how helpful I am".
