Why do some people seek advice & then reject it?

I think there may be many reasons to explain it, some people may simply can not receive the advice to their willing, some people may too proud to admit your adivice in face and some people may just be forced to seek help from others but deep in their heart they do not want to. I think what we should do is try to give them the best advice we can come up with and do not care about how others treat with it.

Because people are social bias and want everything their own way, another way of looking at it is because they just want to conform to the norm yet they can not handle the truth that they are different and this can be solved by repeating that there is nothing wrong With being different explained around the topic, for example if they had different opinions to a partner but disagree'd that the other partner is wrong it may be because they have seen other discard the belief so the norm for that person is to reject and discourage whereas with perfect reasoning they can alter theses beliefs through conditioning and by the repeating of either others treating the belief as if it is okay or to repeat to the person against the belief facts and evidence that is unquestionable! For example most people hate taking responsibility yet by saying to people they can't control life they aren't goi to be to impressed so by rewording and manipulating your own view point more people are likely to believe and consider you correct E.g. If you wanted to buy a car and I said You get a years free warranty you'd be okay about it but only average Yet if I said You get 20 years free warranty you'd be happy Because the responsibility have changed hands So to summarise take the persons responsibility when responding So back to the personal view if you tell the unwilling participant that the other person is responsible for there own belief they may become more satisfied Yet still warning them that they have marginal control over the situation and you'll get it right ;)

I don't know why they reject it if it's what they wanted in the first place. Maybe they should ask for someone's opinion on something rather than for their advice? If someone asks for my advice, then I say I don't give advice, which is true, but I do offer them a listening ear and someone to bounce off of, should they wish to talk about their problem. Often I find that by talking it through, people automatically find their own solutions to their problems without the need for advice.

Some people, they have an idea what they want but still will ask for advise. Their purpose is to ensure that others will think or support him/her. While some, they ask as a reference which they might eventually adopt or reject.

It may be the good advice but for them it still doesn't work. For those who got rejected, we don't have anything to do. It is their decision whether to follow us or not.

i think you havent heard a say"listen everyones but do what you like". many people just follow this say they ask everyone and keepon asking but at the end they will do what they feel right and what they want to do...if you know someone like this better not forward any advice ask them to go by their own will..why waste our energy, our brains when you have to follow what you like..

Most of the people seeking/asking advise has already solution and plan on their minds. They only want to hear and know other ideas.. That is why, at the end of it all..it's their will that will happen.

Hello, I think they are not rejecting your opinion they just have mOre good idea. If you felt offended on this maybe you should not give advice anymore. And besides its just your advice it is still there decision to make. Right? So, dont feel sorry for your advice because i knoW they really used and think about your advice to them.
