When people come to you for advice, do you give good advice or do you just tell them what they want to hear? I give good advice by being tactful of my words and having sensible judgements, because I don't want to hurt the feelings of other people especially when they are the sensitive type. But sometimes I tell them what they want to hear, when the person don't listen anymore. Being honest in a way that sometimes the truth hurts. happy mylotting!(^_^)

I do my best to give good advice. If you come to me for advice, expect the truth. It is something I never play games with. I will ruffle your feathers before I will just tell you what you want to hear. We all want an easy, emotionally comfortable life but I have found most of the learning comes when the drama arrives so I never try to avoid it. In the meantime, all you sweet worderful caring people out there , have a great day. I love each and everyone of you especially the ruffled feathered ones!!!!!!!

Yes, i do give advice when he/she is asking me to. and most of the time, i make him/her see the alternatives and make him/her realize the effects or possible result of the action. But if he/she does not ask for my advice, i just listen to him/her. There are some people who just want to be heard.

i think i do give good advice and dont tell them what they want to hear but what they need to hear. people know i am not to going to tell them what they want to hear but i will be straight up and be honest with them there are some who dont like it but my thing being honest is the best way to be. i see it as if the people who was part of the reason why i am who am today they were honest and straight with me, if they told me what i wanted to hear then i wouldnt be the man i am tday

your right, sometimes some people don't mature because they were tolerated by others.

People come for advice to get a clear idea or for want of a good lisitner to lisiten their views. Be a good lisitner and then only you can give advice according to the problem they faced. Then definitely they will follow the good advice you give. visit my site for http::www//resourceofhealth.com

When someone needs advice, I listen to them first and repeat it back to them. I give my advice by giving the possible outcomes...the good and the bad. I use tact and never judge. I end up telling them it is their choice and they have to do what they feel is right for them.
