sometimes I wonder why I'm friends with people. I feel like I give no contribution to the friendship. An example is with a good friend of mine, she's great.

She gives amazing advice after I finish ranting to her and is always there when I need her.

On the other hand, when she rants to me and is seeking some advice, my "advice" isn't at all helpful. And she knows it too but she's nice about it and takes the bits and pieces that she can actually use.
