Do you have a moment to talk? We have probably asked these questions ourselves and heard others asking them as well – not even realizing what the questioner actually meant.
I believe that our sincere desire is to be listened to, but even more importantly, to be understood. When we want to share our concerns or dilemmas with someone, our consciousness and subconsciousness seek someone who would understand us. We want validation for our thoughts and also someone to help us understand ourselves and thus grow. We have our own understanding and vision of things, what is right, but unfortunately it may not look the same to others.
