People's opinion is worth 2 cents

You ever notice how people are willing to share their thoughts and feelings on any topic, especially on social media. I have the mantra, "If they don't ask, they don't want it." Yet we throw it around like cheap wine. You want to stand out above everyone else? Just listen to someone and offer your sympathies, that's it. I don't tell them how special they are or how strong this is going to make them. I especially will not tell them what to do. People appreciate that. It somehow made me a better 'conversationalist' - from what I'm told.
