I never give advice. Instead, everything is Socratic Dialogue.
In theorizing why this works, I’ve come to think of it in terms of inferential distances. The distance between somebody else’s net experiences and my own is so vast, that giving advice is futile (and more of an indication that the advice-giver wants to feel self-important).
People are experts on themselves. Given enough space and gentle enough questions from an active listener, they often have the capacity to solve their own problems.
