Sometimes She Just Needs To Vent

1. Sometimes she needs to vent and is not looking for you to fix things
   1. Venting can be a means of releasing emotion and/or frustration.
   2. Sometimes she might need to "get it out" and be heard, “I just want you to listen, not do anything.” (This can be so hard for a man to do because men are often hardwired to fix things)
   3. Sometimes it is about her own feelings and other times it might be about her friend’s situation or her feelings about someone else’s life. ( See episode 4)
   4. Often times men get that “deer-in-the-headlights” look and simply do not know how to respond to the venting of emotion.
   5. Men can also automatically take her venting personally; “What did I do?”
   6. When she is venting, she is not looking for a solution to a problem. The solution search will come later.
