It depends on my mood. Maybe when I am in the mood, I could really just welcome it. But when I am not and when I feel like that the person giving the said advice is not a friend and has no right to give such, maybe i would just glare at the person and give the person a blank face.

I still listen to them with a nice face for the people who kind of advise me are not only my near ones but have genuine concerns. I atleast try to respect the thoughts towards their gesture if not follow it.

Initially, I try to listen to unsolicited advice, thinking that I may gain or say learn something out of that, if the other fellow makes it a practice, I try to avoid him.

Bala! I do agree with you, sometimes I really ask myself - 'Am I being taken for a ride'?

I listen and see if there is anything I missed in my thinking. Depends on who it is coming from. If it's money advice and it's coming from my friend who has two leans on his property and his bank account was frozen or from people who have had not one, but two bankrupsies, I consider the source unreliable and that they should know enough to keep their mouths shut and learn from me since my land will be free and clear once I finish the mortgage and I keep finding ways to not file bankrupcy.

It depends who they are coming from my friend, as to how I take them, sometimes they are well meaning and just advice or support, or other times they are criticisms or telling you what you should do or what they would do and try to push their advice onto you. At the end of the day it's your decision, you have to take the risk, the consequences if any and it's your life not other people's! Sometimes the advice should be ignored and taken with a pinch of salt, yeah I hear what you are saying but that's your opinion, I have my own thank you very much!

I tell the person to mind their own business, that I am going to do what I want to do, that I know what they are doing, and that their pushing is only going to make me listen to them even less than I would have, had they not offered me unsolicited advice in the first place! If they don't back off, or try to guilt me, I stand my ground.











, or atleast pretend to and go ahead with what I think is good and suitable for me.I guess you do the same thing is'nt it?
