Don't you hate it when people don't take your advise?

i am not a man of giving advises but accepting advises,when someone give advises to me, i will think about it, then i will thank him whatever it is a good ideas or not, it is very important to think about the advise others give you.,

Yes, you wonder why they ask you in the first place. Too bad she didn't recognize how much you were trying to help her. You are a very special friend to her. Maybe though, next time she will listen!

Donot be upset people are like that only. Many people take our advice ...but will follow their own rule. Some are in the habit of asking others for advice but do not follow....you should not feel bad about the incidents....you were sincere on your part. To be frank, I also feel bad...if someone after asking me for adivce, do not act upon that.

Not really because it is their choice to either accept or not the advice. My mom would give advice and always follow it with but you do what you want. It is your life. I am just mentioning what I would do if it were me. She never did get upset and I have seen times that it would have benefited her friend to accept and follow the advice. I have moms same thinking. They don't have to take my advice just because I gave it. It is their life to do as they see fit.

Well, it doesn't really irk me, I mean, I would be slightly disapoointed that she chooses to ignore my wisodm :D but hey! that's her life, the decision is up to here. All I know is that, as a friend, I've done my part, she should do hers.

Usually,I try my best to let my friends accept my advise.But if they refect to accept it ,I won't force them to accept,after all,they are the final-decision maker. I always show out all of the advertage and disadvertage and let them choose by themselves.Even though your advise are so good and benefit them,they being relutant to accept is equal to nothing. All in all,it depends on themselves.I 'm just a advesior.

i used to be irritated with people who ask for an advice but won't even bother to listen. but now, no more. i just give out my insights, my thoughts on a matter and it's up for the person to do what i say or not. after all, it's his life. just sad sometimes that when worst comes to worst, they still turn to us saying the most famous line, "i was wrong and i should have listened to you."

Not really, it is their loss. But depending on how close I am to that person I guess I may care. I've had many do it, and they are still paying for it.... They need to make the decision for themselves and it is their choice if they don't want to listen....

Overcoming Jihva (tongue) is not easy. Before giving advice to others, better we ask them whether they intend to follow our advice or whether they are just collecting opinions for evaluation. Sometimes, they take a decision and ask us for advice only with a view to corroborate their decision. They will follow our advice only when it is in conformity with their own decision. Anyway, better not to give advices, unless hardpressed with a clear promise of implementing.

Free advice is worth just what you pay for it which is $, Your friend needs to do what the doctor tells her to do. That is advice she has paid for. Unless you are practicing medicine. What bothers me more is when people go to the doctor and then they dont take the advice the doctor gives them. They are wasting the doctors time and their own time when they do this.

I am often just flattered that they even asked my advice.

when someone asks my advice, i give it to them. if they don't take it and my advice was good, i can then say "i told you so", or "see, i tried to tell you" and gloat on my great wisdom. if they take it and it is wrong, however, i feel like a shmuck. MY advice comes from MY experiences and what worked for ME. it may not work for everyone, or anyone else for that matter. i think one should always add that little disclaimer at the end of any suggestions.

It really is irritating when friends don't take our advice when what we want is the best for them but then, at the end of the day, we are only friends and we should not take over our friend's life. It is still up to her to follow or decline our advice.

Dear Friend, Not every person in this world, likes to take advices from friends. It's the nature.But one day you will find a friend who will care about your advices.That's the type of friends we call as Good Friends.....! Thanks

It does irritate me, however, they are their own person. I figure that if they don't take it, it's their own fault when something happens. Also, I probably won't be as eager to give them advise the next time they have a problem.

Actually thats one of my huge pet peeves! when a good friend comes to me looking for my opinion and suggestions on what to do, they dont listen and then they KEEP coming back to me with the same issue over and over looking for advice...so I tell thm the same thing over and over, my suggestions/observations/advice doesnt change and STILL they dont listen....THAT drives me absolutely batty!!

I used to hate it when people, especially friends, solicit my advice and not take it in the end... But lately, I realized that probably the reason why they solicit my advice is to see a different perspective. Now if they don't really take it in the end they are the ones who suffer the consequences and not me... As a friend, I'm just here to listen and advice when needed... But I cannot make my opinions their opinions as well.

People has their right to take or not our advice. Sometimes wen angry for them don't listen to us. But for me, as soon as I advice a friend, I feel happy even if he don't use it because he will know that I am his friend and I try my best to help him.

I don't hate it when people dont take my adivse.I think that if you want to give them advise ,they must your friends or someone you are trust.I want to help them so I gave them advise .but they have the right to give up the advise. so i don't hate if when people don't take my advise and i can give them adivse next time when they are needed help.

When I am asked for advice, I know I am only giving my opinion of what they should do, so I do not get frustrated when they do not follow it. However, if they come back to me looking for advice for the same problem, or a problem that stemmed from not following my advice, I remind them of my previous advice and encourage them to follow that. If it continues that they are complaining about the same issue and STILL not following my advice, I nicely tell them that as much I care for them, I cannot continue to listen to them complain when they are not trying to correct the issue.
