Eventually I realized that no matter how good of a solution you have to someone's problem it's still totally unhelpful if they're not in a place where they can hear that.
Exactly. But they usually will want to hear your suggestion when they feel you really understand their problem. There's a good chance that your original solution will change when you understand their problem more deeply. Things are more complicated than they first seem and there's always a back story. Thanks for your comment.
