I most definitely struggle with this as well - a friend sharing their issues can result in instant solutions streaming out or even sleepless night “solving” their problems!

I haven’t completely gotten away from the habit but I now make sure I ask at least 3-5 questions about how they’re going to address the issue, details or how they feel - it helps me slow down the stream of solutions and more often than not they already have a solution of sort!
