As someone, who is a silent "looper", I understand how it feels for others and maybe that's why I don't even send any message anymore.
Someone once told me: "don't make another person's responsibilities and irresponsibilities your problem". A bit harsh, but it can also help the fixer's mental health.
On another note, I think I know someone who turned this into a business, (I don't know if it's profitable) so there's that.
Interesting point about self management. It is pivotal to self manage so one can be at their best. Only when one is at their best can they help and benefit others.
Pushing for a problem-solving approach is way more productive, even if it’s not easy. It’s such a great reminder to set those boundaries and help others move forward without getting stuck in the venting cycle.

It can feel harsh hearing this, but it does protect our mental health in the long-term
I love this, keep the alpha coming - looking forward to our round 2 in a couple of weeks !
Likewise, thanks Alex!
