- Sometimes she needs to vent and is not looking for you to fix things
- Venting can be a means of releasing emotion and/or frustration.
- Sometimes she might need to "get it out" and be heard, “I just want you to listen, not do anything.” (This can be so hard for a man to do because men are often hardwired to fix things)
- Sometimes it is about her own feelings and other times it might be about her friend’s situation or her feelings about someone else’s life. ( See episode 4)
- Often times men get that “deer-in-the-headlights” look and simply do not know how to respond to the venting of emotion.
- Men can also automatically take her venting personally; “What did I do?”
- When she is venting, she is not looking for a solution to a problem. The solution search will come later.
