Do you listen to people's advice?

Let's talk about our problems. Everyone of us have our problems at one time or another. Sometimes though we cannot solve our own problems and ask help from other people. If someone gives you some advice, do you ever listen to them?

I listen to other peoples advise if i know that it is for my best interest. But i usually weigh things first before making a final decision. I make it sure that when i decided over something i will never regret the decision i made.

Whenever i have problems, i will try to solve it myself.. And when i cant do it, i will try to cool down myself by going for my runs.. And if that still dun work, i will find my frenz to talk too, but i won't listen to their advice.. Because they are not me, all i want is to have ple listening to me, and i just want peace.. So whatever advice they give me, maybe i will listen to some of it, buy i absolutely won't absorb them and put them into actions..

I always listen when someone offers me advice, BUT I do not always take the advice. But it never hurts to listen and sometimes I get great options from listening to people!

As much as possible, I keep my problems to myself but if I cannot contain it anymore, I'll share it to few friends. I share it to them with the hope to learn new ideas from their opinions but that does not necessarilly mean that I have to agreen to all of them. Yes, I listen to valuable opinions.

I'm an inner-directed person. Most of the time I offer ideas to people who need help. But this leads to a bad effect, that is, when people give me advice, I will think about whether they are right or not, if I think they are right, I take it, if not, I refuse it.

I listen, take what they said into consideration, and probably do what i want to do anyways. Especially when someone is giving me advice that i disagree with or goes against my nature.

As a rule I usually take some advice but not all. I do seek some help from time to time on personal matters but I usually try to work things out on my own. Sometimes I feel like I don't like to bother someone with my problems. I don't usually give any unsolicited advice myself. But sometimes if I feel strongly about something I might put in my two cents.

I think that there is nothing wrong with listening to people's advice. I don't mind to have another point of view in my life that I can have my knowledge and wisdom improved. But to do or not to do the advice given to me, is totally my right to choose. They have the right to give me advices, and I appreciate them with listening to the advises because I know they have a good deeds towards me. But I also have the right to do or not to do that, and I hope they would appreciate my decision too.

Of course I have problems, I am having problems now and no I can not figure out how to solve them myself. Most of the people I turn to usually tell me that they do not know what to tell me! G Thanx! But I do love to hear what other people have to say, though I listen closely I look at it like buying a house when it comes to taking their advise. I am not going to jump in and say hey you are right! That is what I am going to do! I like to hear multiple opinions because none of them will be right or wrong but a little of both. Then that way I can put all of them together to fit what I feel is right, but I wouldnt have realised without being told, not as soon anyway!

sometimes i do listen to them, because the most of who adviced me were having a big experience in life,and the most of these advices were very helpfull for me !
