Maybe whinge isn't always how I'd put it but I often get anxious about how things will turn out and some people jump in with advice that only makes me more worried. I finally worked out why talking to one friend always made me feel worse - she jumps in with all this unwanted advice and makes things more complicated.

I'm not sure what a good "whinge" is .. sorry.

That kind of thing usually makes me feel like someone trying to dictate to me how to feel. I found that a lot of the time people are giving advice when they should just be listening. On the other hand, sometimes people make a concentrated effort to listen when I'm really kind of quietly begging for advice. Know what you're after when you express your feelings, and be sure to express them to the right people. If you're friend consistently makes you feel worse, don't share with her so much.
