You see yourself as a fount of wisdom, I know that. But when people are hurting, they usually hate when the listener pours on the advice or the philosophy. Instead of giving advice, tell stories. If you don't have enough relatable stories to tell, then you probably don't have enough advice worth giving should you be asked by a reader.
