Have you ever listened to someone vent about a problem, and about halfway through realized they are the problem?
@RickiTarr So many times. Especially friends who think every bad thing that happens to them is everyone else's fault and that they did not contribute in any way.

@kimlockhartga @RickiTarr

this is encouarging. i've been operating on the idea that i must be a 'bad friend' since i tend to 'take the side' of the other party in these sort of conversations. i've learned to just shake my head sympathetically and keep my thoughts to myself.

@saltywizard @RickiTarr You'll know that it's them if it's never them.
