Why is it difficult for us to take our own advice?

Self doubt. We doubt our own words to ourselves.

@SW-User it's like your mind has a shield against your own words.

@SW-User exactly. Odd how that advice is the same we give others so freely and genuinely to help them, yet we give it to ourselves and all of a sudden that advice sucks and should be questioned. 🤷

I have no clue.
But, the advice others seek from me does not apply to me, for the most part.

Simply because I can be my own worst enemy at times.
