Do you feel you give good advice?

I think I give good advice. A lot of my friends ask me quite often for it. A friend of mine has problems with their youngest daughter who is 40, and I did give him some advice. Cut the apron strings and stop letting her mooch off of you. The "kid" is almost 40 and she keeps running home to momma to bail her out of her problems. Enough is enough. Did they take my advice? Yes, they are letting her dig herself out of her own holes.

hello ctrymuziklvr!I'm a few years younger but I believe my friends trust me with their secrets and they say I give good advice.I sometimes think I give good advice to friends in my lot and personal friends but I have a tough time deciding for myself.lol.

I think I did.I don't remember exactly what advice but it sure helped that someone seeking for help.

I think all of us like to think we give good advice. But it is only that..advice. We can only tell someone what we have found through our own personal struggles and triumphs. What we tell someone may or may not have worked for us, but it might work for them. Then only problem is, that if it didn't work for us, we are less likely to pass on that advice, so the other person may be left with one less option. Also... if they don't follow the advice exactly, but tweak it, they may find that, if it didn't work out for them, that you gave them BAD advice. But when we advise, I feel, for the most part our intentions are honorable and decent. So.. to answer your first question, I give advice.. whether its good or bad is all in the eye of the advice-ee. The "best" advice I've given anyone.. is anyone who will listen when I tell them to stop selling on ebay. Whether or not they heeded the advice remains to be seen.

i give excellent advice.. ;pats self on back; im a highly logical person.. so the things i advise have a logical simplistic black/white scenerio to them. not always easy to follow... but is usually the best way to handle whatever the situation is for the best results possible. no.. peple dont always listen to me.. but more often thannot, after time, they usually come back saying they wished they had!

My grandma, unfortunately, not in the mindset to talk to me. She cant even recognize any of her sons and daughters. I didn have a chance to talk to grandparent and sometimes, i am very envy about people who have their grandparent to guide them to tell them their experiences, story of their life. My grandmother and grandfather, are in Taiwan as my mum is a PR in the country we live in. I have little time with them and do not know whether to talk to them and listen to their advice as i know, they do not know me. What is my character like, what do i do or what do i like to be. The closest kin and own enough adults are my parents but sometimes, there is a barrier in between and all i can talk is those topic they can accept. My way of finding advice is thorugh the books, unfortunately again. Though reading books can gain wisdom but sometimes, it is just a general topic with what people normally will do. My Journey is a rough one where i fall and climb, fall and climb. Sometimes, people tend to look for me as an advicer though i am 19 only. Is quite sad actually not to listen to elderly talking their experiences. I love to have elderly to talk about their life, their story , their experience in life. Sometimes it is quite interesting although sometimes, as most of us agree, boring. Nevertheless, it will be fun to interact and listetn to the advice. My advice will always end with, what matter most is what you feel about the situation and what you think you can act on and prevent more situations to come out. Althoigh there will be situations coming out, but in a way that choose a way that there is least situations coming up after you have decide what you do.

It was just yesterday. My partner receivd her court date for her bankrupcy. She became extremely depressed. We had a busy day scheduled, haircuts, lunch, grocery shopping. She was crying and said she just wanted to stay home and sulk. She is in a 12 step program, so I started asking her about her Higher Power and HP's help. She said her HP was sleeping. And that is what she wanted to do. I calmly sat and spoke to her for 45 minutes. I told her she has been complaining about needing a haircut for a week. If she just stays home and doesn't get her hair cut, she will be depressed and still in need of a haircut. I told her she needed to continue to take care of herself and getting out would take her mind off of the bankrupcy. She was crying and still insisting she didn't want to go out. I just persevered and kept talking. She got up, put her coat on and said she was ready to go out. While we only went to Great Clips, she was pampered and her hair looks marvelous! She is in a much better place today. PEACE

I do give advice. Though maybe perhaps it is because it was part of my job. I once work in a unit where I was a shift in charge of one shift, probably we could consider the position as a supervisor under the company settings. So there are people under me and often I give advises as part of the job. But there are also occasions that I advice on personal matters if someone approaches me. I could not categorically say what best advice I have given since it always depends on the situation.

You are great!I also like to talk with the man who have many experiences.I think they can teach me a lot of things and I think many of them are wisedom as they can think the things carefully.So they always can give the good advice.I think you also can do.

i think i give good advice. i am a quiet thinker and listener and a read a lot for fun and i have a ba in social science and i am wise for my age, even when i was in my 20s. plus, i tend to be Spiritual, and turn to God for advice. So, therefore, God has blessed me with making good decisions, and i further try to use those skill to advise others if they ask for it.

hey my friends really look upto me for some advice ...specially in case of girls. lol well if anyone turn up and asks something i try to explain it to the best of my knowledge. if i don't know abt it then i just pass it.. so i think i can be a pretty decent adviser ..try me sometime ... lol cheers

People tell me I give very good advice, but I am very cautious about it. Most of the time when they tell me I've helped them, what I've done is to listen and try to help them think it through. I always keep in mind that no one can know another's situation thoroughly unless they've been in it and that there are always two sides to every story, cliche or not. So unless it's an obvious situation where someone is being abused or endangered or treated with rampant disrespect, I try to be nonjudgemental and give them a chance to decide for themselves what they should do.

I think I can give a good advice especially when the person is close to my heart. Yes, they took my advice. I had a friend who falls in love with a married man, my advice for her is to think it over before going into a relationship with him. I told her to think of his wife especially the kids... Thank goodness, she took my advice! She is now with someone who is not committed to any woman. :)

The best advise is one which lets others who are in pain to get relieved with it. One of my friend had a failure in an affair, i have helped him in recovering from this pain, by acting as a girl with whom he is chatting and sharing things. A person who fails in any affair needs someone to share his feelings. If he is left alone, he starts loosing himself. I dont know when i am going to stop my acting. I will probably tell about myself in near future when i feel that he can live on his own.

I think I give good advice but more importantly the ppl who come to me feel I do and thats all cool with me...I dont know if its necessarily "age" that brings on our wisdom as much as it is experience and inner strength ya know....Regardless though, I'm blessed with the ability to help others with my actions and words etc by way of my past if that makes sense and thats a good thing.

I think i can able to give good advice. But, recently iam feeling that my advices are somehow rude. And some times, somepeople says that my advise are good so that they can bring change in them. It is troubling me whether I was giving good advice or other else.
