I think we've crossed wires somewhere along the way, probably my fault as I'm a bottle of wine down right now :)
We absolutely should take every opportunity to help others, but sometimes we need to recognise that there are people who need to vent. Sometimes it can come across as patronising which elicits a negative response which makes helping them harder.
Sucks, but that's what I'm seeing a lot of these days.
True, but that doesn't preclude them coming out the other side of their anger with new insight and a more relevant perspective.

I mean trying to help people who are just venting can come across as patronising.
I'm not suggesting we don't call it out, but helping them 'see the error of their ways' can come across poorly, especially on social media.
