Do you like it when people give you advice?

For me usually just depends.
Well yes some can be insightful. But others just judgemental or annoying.
I just... Listen to them say ok 🙃 but just follow if it's useful for me.
Yeah in that sense I don't tend to argue cause in the end we're responsible for own decisions so why trying to tell them that...

Advices are very much welcome in proper places. Don’t do it when it is not asked, esp on parties were a lot of people can hear and also tell you things.
Yes I do. I
Love watching them explode on the inside when I ignore the advice 😌

@Teggy The deserve it for thinking they know more than anyone and that their ideas are the only good ones.
SW-User
If I have asked for it then I am kind of bound and obliged to listen to it, even if I do not take it.
If I am talking about my situation publicly and people have opinions and advices to give, it is again something I asked for and the least I can do is listen without shaming someone for giving 'unsolicited advice' as is so common here on this site.
In the end, I am not obliged to follow anything anyone says but it enriches me to have many perspectives from where I can make a more informed or thought about decision.

I don't like advice in general. I probably have issue with people telling me what to do. I think I will make a choice on my own.
SW-User
@JimboSaturn for the most part I'm the same way
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
@SW-User Especially unsolicited advice lol
SW-User
That’s true, they might listen to your advice if it’s right for them but not right away. Everyone tries their own way of doing things first before they listen to others.
SW-User
Depends on the advise.

People rarely gives me good advise, most of the time it's just their opinion on the matter instead of a well thought idea that suits my scenario.

People I respect, sure. Im very receptive to new information bc I feel more confident making decisions when I have as much insight as possible.
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
Sure because it’s always interesting hearing different perspectives even if I choose to not take the advice
SW-User
@DeluxedEdition that's right, I'll try to remember that when I'm in s better mood 🙂
rrraksamam · 31-35, M
Yes. I'll take all advice, including rude, judgemental, annoying, bashful and insulting ones.
SW-User
rrraksamam · 31-35, M
@SW-User Because I hardly get any. Sometimes I wish I had an advisor who'd just tell me what to do and how to handle different situations. But all I got is my own brain and sometimes it's not enough
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
If someone has useful experience and therefore insight, sure. But not when they're projecting their own issues onto my life choices.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Yes about big important issues, no if it’s just about the best way to wash the dishes or peel a potato.
@Strongtea the best way to peel a potato is to not do so at all. 😌

Depends on the intent of the person giving advice. Also, the way they put it up.

I like it if it's not overly general, obvious or not asked for.
Exactly why horoscopes are pointless right there.
SW-User
@checkoutanytime but those are general advice
Spumoni · 46-50, M
There are a few friends that I don't allow advice from.
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
Really depends
SW-User
@Rolexeo i dislike so much when people intrude too much in my life
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@SW-User I definitely get that
PatKirby · M
When it's solicited, yeah.
fun4us2b · M
Some people - it depends on the topic...
Diotrephes · 70-79, M
If you don't want advice, don't annoy people with your problems.
SW-User
@Diotrephes I don't tell people my problems
exexec · 61-69, C
It's good when I ask for it. Not good when it is not solicited. Never good on the golf course.
Oh it totally DEPENDS.

Some people can give you really insightful pieces of advice , and some can completely misinterpret what you said and become judge and jury on something they didnt understand in the first place.

Or you get triggered responses (of which ive been guilty in the past).

But i think its all useful .
There are things ive stopped doing all becuase i saw someone do it to me, and went "shit , im like that!😱"😆
@SW-User oh i agree.
I had one just the other day telling me what kind of person i was , judging my life from the other side of the planet , and then decidng i was just making everything up to get attention .

I think they just need to degrade someone else to make themselves feel better about their own crappy lives.
SW-User
@OogieBoogie that's awful

Not really tbh. I guess nobody likes it if one didn't ask for it first.
DDonde · 31-35, M
@SW-User If it's literally their job I wouldn't mind as much
SW-User
@DDonde yes right and then don't follow it haha 😂 if it's not nessesary I mean 😁😁😁😁
SW-User
@DDonde at least that's what I do
