I see people who worry too much about being someone who gives good advice. This leads them to interrupt conversations with a need to interject every little tidbit of advice they have.
Instead, I think it's better to listen without interrupting. Have someone tell you a story and then lead the discussion in a way so that the other person figures out the best solution by themselves. Your job as a good listener is to guide their thought process so that they think in a way that leaves them in a healthy position. If they stray and start taking an unhealthy position, that's where you interject and point out why that might not be the best course of action. Other than that, you should encourage the other person to keep talking and to understand for themselves why or why not what they are doing is good.
