Yeah, hearing people tell others to talk like this sounds a little… manipulative to me? Like, “say this to make them feel like they’re doing something to be commended rather than admitting that you’re taking their time and energy to offload your problems”.
Not that it’s bad to want someone to listen to you. But like you said, might make the person take a mile when they’re given an inch and make them feel like they can do it all the time.
