    I have friends that know to clarify for me. They’ll just drop in “I’m just venting” or say they’re not looking for a solution.

      This is what I do. If I don’t want solutions, I always start with “This is just a rant, I don’t need solutions, but…”

      Usually that exact quote, so it’s completely unambiguous. If I didn’t start with something like that, 99% chance I’ll be okay with presented solutions.
