People who don't know anything giving advice

There are some people out there who are giving advice to you even though they don't know anything. But if you know something on the particular subject but wanted to seek advice but the person giving advice has zero knowledge on it, will you still accept their advice? I'm not sure I would especially when they started to throw a hissy fit when you reject their advice in the most polite way as possible.

I give advice to people even though I have no experience I just think of what I would do and hope it help. None of us here can never give accurate advice because of three main things . [b] We dont know you Always more to what you share We dont tell you what you want to hear[/b] For professional advice , you can always see a shrink . Just appreciate a little free advice , its not like the person giving advice is benefiting either . Thats my views

I think the person should not give the advise if they not know actually what is happened. Some people has bad habit if two persons doing quarrel then jump in the middle and say something in one side even they not know the main reason of quarrel and I hate these type of people. I dont want to give advise to anyone till not necessary and till they not told me for advise.

But sometimes like I said these people might throw a fit when you simply don't accept their advise which makes it even more difficult to reject their advise.

I do not know what advice you were trying to seek but there are some areas or topics that are not suitable for discussion. A lot of times, people will just drop a line or two with whatever they know and as you have pointed out, there will be some that don't even know what they are advising. When I encounter such an advise, I will just take the person as having a genuine good intention but just does not have that depth I need. I will not say whether I will take the advice or not, say thanks but keep the no thanks and move on. However, if there is a major error where it may aggravate or cause others to be inconvenienced by it, then I feel it is my responsibility in pointing out the error and clarifying it with the person.

I just don't think one person knows everything..Saying that, I have seen responses that meant absolutely no sense on the subject. Then I think is this person really dealing with a full deck or are they just talking to get monies.And there have definately been some responses totally out in left field... then I say to myself, I will not judge them I will just ignore their response..I just don't really like to be rude to people unless they respond to me first in a rude manner I will let them have it with both barrells..lol

That's one of my peeves, people who are giving unsolicited advices about stuff which they don't have any knowledge about. If ever I asked an advice from someone even if that someone doesn't have any firsthand experience about it, that means I would just like to hear his or her opinion about it.

[b]It depends on the situation if the said advice is possible or not. A friend of mine once told me that I need to pick the best advice that I could possibly do, so I would not regret it the end. It still depends on our own decision on what we chose and what we pick but we need to think what would be the disadvantages and advantages. [/b]

even though sometimes some people might not know the subject but they say something which would be the best solution out of nowhere. So be alert and listen to all. Then you filter it. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead
