Sometimes I don't mind, If someone always tells me what to do. If that's what make him/her happy. But I'd a friend who never likes someone who tells her what to do. She's kinda bossy so no wonder she don't like being told.LOL But there are some situations when you get irritated because the person thought you're like a moron who doesn't have a mind to think and give you instructions like a kindergarten. LOL

I am not bossy, but I hate when others tell me what to do, as I know what to do.

it's what i don't like. even with my mom, i used to not like her for doing so. i don't want others to keep telling me what to do especially when i feel like im more capable of doing the task better than anyone else. i find it hard for me to keep pace with theses kind of people. i know i can do better and i always have with me my common sense.

Yeah, I agree with you flagella, that's what my mom like and I don't like it either. She seems like she don't trust me and afraid of me making mistakes, but that was before. My mom's reason for doing so is she loves me and cares so much. I think it's not really good, it's kinda too much. But parents have the authority for doing so, so it's okay.
Anyway thank you for sharing with us and have a great day!

Hi Careguarden,
No, can't say I like people telling me what to do...It kinda gives you the idea the person thinks you can't think for yourself, or your "ill-equip" to do so..and a lot of the times the person giving you the instruction isn't really giving very good advice.
I think it's okay to give someone advice, even helpful sometime...but when a friend, family member, etc..tries to force their opinions on you to make you do what they want, it's a form of manipulation... and at that point it might be time to back the person up and let them know as tactfully as possible, your a capable individual who does a pretty good job of thinking for yourself :-).

Hello Jigilmore,
I think those kind of person who likes telling other people what to do is quite insecure, they want to appear to be more intelligent, knowledgeable, and has more power than you. Well based on my experiences since I'd been working into different jobs and deal with different kind of personalities.
Yeah, there are some members in our family or friends who's kinda manipulative so it's better to stay away from them as they will only make us like a puppets and use us. As they only want us to be dependent on them, and never trust ourselves.
Anyway thank you for sharing with us and have a great weekends!

I hate it when someone tells me what to do and I do not tolerate it. I don't mind someone asking me if I can do something, but ordering me to do it is just not right. I refuse to listen to anyone who tells me what to do!

Yeah, it's hard to deal with those people who like giving orders, but sometimes if it's really for your own good then it's okay. Like parents and good friends those people who cares for you. But when it comes to those who people who don't have right for telling you what to do then better ignore them.
Thanks for sharing with us and enjoy your weekends!

I have a friend that tried that with me trying to tell me what to do as well as where we should go and then what we are doing.Then i had a few problems and she also told me what i should do about that and yes i think some people should do something about their self before telling others what to do.I now do not see her so it is great.

Hmmmm it's more better if you do suggestion than to dictate on what to do do. But for me, it depends on the situation. I don't like someone to dictate me on what im going to do, if i already know what its gonna be. But if some thing is unclear i questioned them. Im not good on volunteerism so sometimes i want someone to instruct me. As what i said depends on the stiuation.

Yeah, you're right it depends on the situations. We don't like to be treated as someone who knows nothing. Me either when I'm not sure what I'm doing and the prizes of failure is high I make sure to asked for clear instructions. You know it's better to appear of being fool in a minute than in a lifetime.
However when it comes to being told to do something I already know, then It's a different thing that's hard to tolerate.
Anyway thank you for sharing with us ayebelle and enjoy your weekends!
