Your Type
Whenever friends face problems, you can always calmly offer incisive analysis and advice. This habit of over-relying on rationality is actually a protective shield you use to isolate "out-of-control emotions"; you fear facing the chaotic, unsolvable sorrow deep within others or yourself, so you rush to "fix" the problem with perfect solutions so you don't have to feel it. But not every wound needs to be healed immediately. Try resisting the urge to give advice the next time a friend cries, and simply say, "That must be really hard"; when you learn to let go of the obsession to solve problems, you can offer the deepest kind of companionship.
