<human>: My girlfriend has depression and sometimes it affects us in different ways. Aside from the depression she complains a lot about people, school, how she misses home, etc… I don't know how to deal with it since they are mostly her problems and I can't solve them for her.

When she talks about stuff I typically end up saying "yeah….no…..mhm….I don't know…..sure" or just nothing at all. She gets upset with me because I don't say much, but I just don't have much to say, I'm not sure what she wants to hear from me, I've always been a quiet guy. And honestly sometimes I get fed up with all of her issues and just don't care.

But I want to fix how I react to her and how I listen to her, how can I expand on my small short answers? I don't think she wants to hear suggestions or how to solve her problems, so I'm not sure what she wants to hear from me.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Trying to become a better listener when my girlfriend talks about her issues, I don't keep the conversation going due to my short answers. Trying to find what else to say.
