Giving advice

I never give advice unless I would do it myself. I have learnt over the years, people don't take kindly to being told one thing when the person telling them does another. If I don't know what I would do, I offer suggestions instead, with the understanding that it may not be the solution and to explore more possibilities. Ok, so I have told people they need to rest more and take care of themselves more, but do I? Not really! lol.

haha...here comes another that you are picking out.Just now i was telling myself that i should not spent so much time playing at my PC but finally i didn't take my own advice and i am here,surfing internet again:(i think most people know clearly what should and should not be done so it's easy to give others advice,but when it comes to themselves,it is not just saying,but put what have been said into action,which is more difficult,it seems.

I have given advice, usually from my own personal experience. That is, something I SHOULD have done back then. Recently I gave someone advice about her boyfriend about how he was probably feeling because I feel the same way. Of course she came back to me and said I was probably right. It's hard stepping out of your comfort zone. So now it IS time for me to listen to my own advice.

This is a good discussion! I am not the type who can always follow my own advice. I sometimes end up telling myself that better said than done! Inasmuch as I want to, I try to follow what I preach, but it's not always easy. It does become an eyeopener to me though with the situations that I have. I guess it does help to read through the advices and pick up the good ones that can be applied to my situation. The end result can never be known as long as you've tried it. Thanks!

I can definitely admit that I dont take my own advice. I give great advice to friends and family, sometimes people I dont even know that well. I think alot of people are in the same boat and are afraid to admit it. There have even been times when Ive been going through something and I know what I would say to someone else in my situation, yet I ignore the little voice inside telling me dont do it. Darn that voice!(its always right)lol

NO, I don't. Which is really bad at times. My friends usually tell me that I give them good advice and it makes me happy to know that I did. And usually why I give them such good advice is because I've already been in the same situation or I could be in at the time being. And I don't know why but I don't take my own advice or I rarely do. I hate it when my friends tell me, "You, know you should take your own advice," and then I think about and I know their right and yet I still don't do it. Crazy huh? But I get by just fine.

I do my best to take my own advice.

I try to give advice that has worked for me in the past, but sometimes it's advice based on what I did wrong in the past. I do know that it's sometimes "easier said than done" and I know I've done the total opposite of what I'm suggesting to someone else.

yes i love to hear advice but i wont take all the advice i think all and finally which is some what fix to me then i took

I'm a great one for giving advice but I never realize that sometimes I should be doing the same thing. My advice should change the way I handle certain situations but never does.

Most times I do follow my own advice otherwise it would be pointless and backward, at least in my view. Things like dating and relationships, I definitely follow my own advice (because advice/thinking in the past from others was absolutely horrific); no one can accuse me of not practicing what I preach there. When it comes to health, again most times following the advice. I do the physical routines and stay active. I do keep my health and nutrition up. Other miscellaneous situations of what would you do or what should I do, it varies but I remember a good number of the threads I gave advice to was related to things I've already experienced, so I'm covered there as well. I'll admit that anytime I give advice I still look at it a bit different, even if I'm solid on the advice, opinion or belief.

if you just accept the advice in mind,you never want to try it or you are short of courage to try it.the advice is useless.you can treat the advice as a new thing,maybe it will give you a surprise,you will like it.

I have found myself wondering about this as well. Too often I try to find solutions or better ways to approach other people's problems, but when I am faced with similar problems I don't always follow those solutions. Sometimes I blame people for acting so irrationally when something bad happens to them, and I act no better when something bad happens to me. I don't like how I dot remember my own advice when I need it, but I don't think its necessarily wrong to remind others of it when I can, I wouldn't mind if others did so for me. Lately, I have realized this little problem, and have been trying to fix it. I've gotten better at remembering my own advice but sometimes the situation overwhelms my patience.
