i'd like to be both. my friends used to tell me that i'm a good listener and give good advices. i like to take advices too. to make sound decisions for my own problems, i ask for and need other people's advices. that way i can see reasons and views that i may not have considered or overlooked.

I am both ways myself. I like to give advice and also take advice it needed. I am good at giving advice if I know someone needs it.

I must confess that I LOVE giving advice! I guess it can get annoying at times (sorry ) but mylot is the best place for that!! I like listening to people too and I think I am a good listener but soemtimes I have to stop myself before I interrupt the story to give advice or exemples .. I try to refrain myself lol Irealise sometimes my friends don't look for my advice but simply need an ear to vent ... a friend to be there for them without being judgemental

Actually no, I don't really like to give advices as I don't like to take a lot of resposibility. When you give advice to someone you need to feel responsible for the result it could have and I don't want to be the one who will be blamed for the bad result. It is better to keep my thoughts to myself.

Hello there. I love giving advice to people. Whenever my friends tell me about their problems, I'll usually give advice to them. However, I think I still do not have enough life experience to give very good advice. I only give advice to people when I am sure that it'll work for them. If not, I'll just offer a listening ear. Usually, when people give me advice, I'll take them only if I think it works. I do not work on everyone's advice. Different friends will give different advice regarding a matter. I prefer getting a variety of response and then analyze what to do. Ultimately, I am the one who is going to work on things so I have to analyze through all the advices given to me and then make a final decision.

I like advice. I'm glad people are willing to give advice to us. Without the teacher(s), we wouldn't have any advice to take.

I'm more of a type of person who loves giving advice. Not sure how good I am, but people have said that they really do find answers and comfort from my advice. I can take advice from others too, but I'm afraid that I'm not too good in this area because I'm always quite defensive so advice in terms of scolding will be like "going in from the left ear, going out the right ear". Hope I'll be able to improve on this area! =P
