If a good friend asks for your advice,do you tell them what they want to hear or tell them what you think,even if it upsets them.Me personaly i tell them what i think and if they don't like the answer,tuff,they shouldn't have asked my opinion

uhmm... i do give advices based from what i think is right because i based my advices from my elders and for me it's a proper advice that could help my friends... if they would want me to give advices based from what they've been wishing to hear then i don't think they're worth my time and effort. they doesn't want my advice instead they just want to gain justifications that they are right if that's the case.

I feel honesty is the way to go. The truth hurts often specially if they are not ready for it. Still you would not be a good person if you yourself are only telling lies. I can't imagine otherwise, living a lie. So yea, your motto is fine, be honest, but being honest does not mean be rude and cruel.

well, I tell them what I think and feel, even if it would make them upset or feel bad. If one is really a good friend he must not lie to that friend who asked for an advice. And that friend who asks for an advice must not expect for a positive advice. What a friend says was just an opinion. Every person has his own view on a problem.

Friends are there to help one another. If a friend ask advice and I give wrong advice just to make them happy, then I am not a true friend. Friends trust one another. If the friend does not like the answer, that doesn't matter, as long as you are honest and they respect that as a friend. Friends are not there to sooth the ears, they are there for guidence and support. If I give advice to a friend, and they don't follow that advice, and end up hurt, or whatever, I would still support them. As a friend I can give advice, not forcing them to use it. They must decide for themselves. I do not hold it against them if they do not listen to me, even if they find out that my advice was better and they made a mistake. Many blessings.

I think it is always a good idea to tell the friend your opinion no matter if it pleases them or offends them as honesty is the best policy.If they do not like your opinion they should not and will not ask you again.Happy mylotting.
