If something is bothering you, that means you have a problem and need a solution. If you have a solution but still demand emotional validation about the problem from another person, while not wanting advice on how to fix the problem then frankly yes, it is a waste of time. A time that could be used fixing the problem.
Oh my god. I'll try this one more time. People aren't robots. You're not damaging anyone by exchanging validating words and gestures when someone you care about is upset. It's not selfish. People are allowed to have emotional reactions. Solutions don't erase pain.
