When someone seeks your advice...

Might you assume they've run out of all other rational options? 🤔
HannahSky · F
Usually they've already made up their minds and want validation.
HannahSky · F
@BiasForAction I thought advice was my job 🤔
@HannahSky surely it’s a two way street?
HannahSky · F
@BiasForAction yes, it is, definitely

Get them to sign a waiver ... Very important!
Trippin · F

ozgirl512 · 26-30, F

Trippin · F
@ozgirl512 Hugs back

At work it’s common to ask an opinion. Here, people ask then hate the answer. So why ask the question in the first place?
Trippin · F
@Adogslife A paradox indeed 🤔
butterfly1013 · 26-30, F
Sometimes, but because of the type of work I do not necessarily. I am basically a therapist in my line of work. People want advice, but don't ever want to take it. Sometimes it's just a waste of time.
Trippin · F
@butterfly1013 Or a sounding board upon which our own questions can be heard. Much respect.
Elessar · 26-30, M
I assume they've f*cked up their tech because that's what I'm usually needed for
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Trippin Little they know that when I have to learn something new, my guinea pigs are their devices 🥴
Trippin · F
@Elessar Haha!! Bonus!!
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@Elessar Idiots can be so creative lol

Depends on the subject. If they ask about eyeliners,that’s probably the case
Trippin · F
@SW-User What!!! You're not up to speed on your Revlon products?
SW-User
@Trippin I know..it’s a shocker isn’t it
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
I think they have an idea but they aren’t 100% confident with it so they would like a second opinion
Trippin · F
@ImRileyTheDog Indeed... As I as well attempt to extend an honest opinion.

( just a smart ass on the side)
BozoBoy · 36-40, M
If someone is asking me for advice it has to be pure desperation because I’m a complete fuckup
Trippin · F
@BozoBoy If you absolutely believe that and stand behind it: You'd provide excellent advice on confidence.
InHeaven · F
No one seeks my advice, they seldom see me as rational, if ever 😄 They all try to give me advice
OnePatheticClown · 51-55, M
I assume they need someone to blame for their bad decisions and I was the closest at hand...
Trippin · F
@OnePatheticClown Fall Guy Syndrome. Been thete.
Flattering when they do but it’s rare lately. I’m hoping I haven’t lost it
Trippin · F
@BiasForAction I for one might conclude that you sir provide top notch advice. Yep.
everyone comes to me for advice. people think i have my ish together 😂
Trippin · F
@thelastofus Interesting... Folks assume I have my shit together as well. 🤔
Baz87 · 36-40, M
Not always

Maybe they see you as a smart wise person they can trust
Trippin · F
@Baz87 Certainly. ( you may I have noticed I tend to bend my questions a bit)
Lacemaker · 41-45, F
🤣🤣
Probably
Trippin · F
@Lacemaker Haha... Your presence here is simply appreciated. By me anyways. Truth.
Lacemaker · 41-45, F
@Trippin
Aww shucks, call on me any time for..... advice 😄
Trippin · F
@Lacemaker ❤️
SW-User

Trippin · F
@SW-User Schooch over!! Hoggin' the shade!!
SW-User

Trippin · F

vetguy1991 · 51-55, M
Depends, there are a few things I know something about
Trippin · F
@vetguy1991 As Im certain there are many my friend.
SW-User
Good thing no ones asked for my advice yet
Trippin · F
@SW-User I alway try to remember that the shoe will one day be on my foot.
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
I’m my case, definitely.
Piper · 61-69, F
I might, unless the one seeking my advice is someone close to me. Even then, I figure they just want to hear what I think about something, before they do what their own voice tells them to.
SubstantialKick · 31-35, M
Trippin · F
I assume asking me is their [b]only[/b] remaining option, rational, irrational or out-and-out lunacy.
Depends. Sometimes they’ve already decided, or at least narrowed down options, and simply want corroboration.
Trippin · F
@bijouxbroussard I concur. Such a fine line between an honest opinion sought and recruiting a team mate.

@LvChris Sound....and now somewhat Interestingly creative advice you keep on hand, sir.
SW-User
I often wonder why they bother. Like asking a vegan for tips on how to cook the perfect steak.
Trippin · F
@SW-User Humph... I've often entertained the notion I've lead someone to jump a fence. 🤔
