What you do when your advice gets rejected?

I'm a kind of different person, i just look back, i have never given any advice to my friends or anybody... Because i never interrupt in anybody's work, even if it's good or bad , right or wrong, i don't interrupt... Even if people come and ask me for any advice, i'd rather tell them do it your way..

it is up to them to accept my advise or not. as long as they come to me for an advise and give the my opinion. it would be a pleasure to me and no matter they agree with me or not, at least i had my share with their problems.

I don't offer my advice if people don't ask me. People tend to ignore what I say anyway and just do what they want so I try to avoid giving them any advice if I can help it. If people ignore it, then whatever. It's up to them. I just don't understand why people asked me in the first place.

Hi cowboyofhell :) Nice topic you have there. Okay regarding the question, well.. I don't necessarily give an advice to everyone especially if they don't need it. Usually with people who have problems, they need more of an "affirmation" to their feelings rather than advice. It's not right if we impose what is right without looking at the situation itself. I know some people who do that because as they say it's always easier said than done. Sometimes, more than the good old words of wisdom, a person simply needs a hug or a reminder that as a friend, we will always be there for them. :) Though there are other times my advice gets rejected, I don't really bother.. Though I know my advice may be right, I don't like the fact of imposing it. The person has a freewill and most likely, he/she'll have to learn the right thing through experiences. :)

Sometimes i do feel sorry for the person too. But the thing is as friends we give advice every now and then.But it is still up to them if they will follow what we think is right for them or the other way around. We are just giving them options that they can choose from , i think as a friend that is our part to give guidance but the main thing is they will be the ones to choose their destiny, maybe he /she thinks otherwise thats why he didnt listen to your advice, at least you did your part ;)

One can only do so much for a friend. You can give advice but you cannot expect them to follow it even if they are the ones who asked fr it. They can think for themselves and it up also up to them to make their own mistakes.

All you can do is offer advice, it is up to the other person to decide whether to take that advice or ignore it. I have often been asked for advice and given my opinion, only to have that ignored. It no longer bothers me, after all it's their choice to listen or ignore.

I agree about not pushing it. If you give a friend advice and they don't want to take it then, so be it. Advice is basically your opinion of the situation and how it should be handled and everyone is entitled to that even if the advice seeking doesn't agree with it.

Well, I don't make him or her follow my advice, cause it's just an advice and not an order. I mean, it's still their life, and of course I respect their decision on what to do and whom to follow, it's really none of my business, and if they don't want my advice or they don't want to follow it, then I guess I cannot really do anything about it right?

I don't feel bad or anything else when someone rejects my advice. What I feel is that, it is his/her wish, I really don't care. Maybe he/she didn't find my advice useful or maybe he/she doesn't want to accept my advice or maybe the reason can be anything. So, if he/she wants to accept, it is good for him/her. If not, it's ok with me. Happy mylotting!

As far as I am concerned, I think I can not bear that thing happen to me.For me, I think I am a person who usually think the thing for a second time. So If I have put up an advice, I think it will be the best,which I do not want to see my best friend reject it.

I always say, we can give advice , but we canot force you to use it. That is where i draw the line. If someone rejects your advice, don't worry. At least you gave it. TATA.

Well, i always believe that we should take all advices i mean listen them and take into consideration. But final decision is mine. Advices according to me, how it can impact in me and help me in solution. If my advice is rejected, i leave it to their choice, so its their life and matured enough to judge and pick up the good advice.

It's ok if someone would reject my advice because I will understand. Asking for advices is how people balance the situation and solution to their problems. Besides,no matter how good my advice is, it's still up to that person whether he/she will follow it or not. In the end, his/her decision will matter the most.. Right? :)

hi cowboyofhell If someone asks for my advice and does notlike it, I just shrug it off as stress is not my friend, so I just dont let it stress me. I am a diabetic and being stressed can actually raise your blood sugar a nd pressure both up too high. So if the person spurns my suggestions I just walk away. no need to get all upset or squabble over it, not worth it for either one of us.

It's not my loss if he/she rejects my advice. There's a saying that we cannot please everybody. I won't insist on giving him/her any more advice.

i only give advice if it s needed. if they dont want it then it s fine. i dont force it either.

An advice is just an advice and it's up to that person if she/ he would take it or not. That's the reason whenever I give an advice to someone and it ends up that the person did not take it I don't get offended. I only give an advice when someone asked me to do so because there are people who don't want being given an advice about something especially if it's something personal. However, if that person is about to do something I know will harm her/ him I give that person an advice before she/ he gets harmed.

There's nothing wrong if he's not going to take it..your just giving an advice, something like a proposal for an appropriate action but it doesn't mean that you're going to tell him everything that he should do. It's his own life and by the end of the day he's still the one who's going to make the decision not you...:)

I'll do the same like you do. I cant force my friend to accept my advice. As long as I'm ready to give advices, that is enough.He has the right to choose what he thinks.
