People love to bounce ideas off one another. Reason being is that they are looking for bits of reassurance.
I’d encourage you to give them spaghetti instead; it’s something they can take and throw at the wall themselves.
Worth noting: it requires you to listen and still be empathetic; to give them spaghetti that has a great chance of sticking. A far more valuable and rare offering than reassurance.
Stay Positive & Bon Appétit
