For some reason I can’t find any relevant hits with Google, but I’ve heard “support vs advice” described as “sympathy or fascism” before. “I want to moan at you” vs “I want you to take over and solve my problem”.
Haha, what a terrible choice of descriptors! I mean, it gets across the point of view of the “sympathy” side, which is arguably more important than getting across the other side (since I’ve more often heard about the error of giving advice than the opposite), but… how unsympathetic ;p
