At times, when we laid down our suggestions or advises to some close people. They misinterpret the personal intentions, sometimes classifying you in a wrong foot circumstances. If that's the case, then we should not bother imparting our wisdom of thoughts.

We could not please everybody around us with the decisions that we take. All we can do is to be responsible to whatever circumstances we might have in the end. If people disregard or thing that we have decided on something that it out of their zone, I think we shouldn't mind them at all. What is important is what we did is something that we know is the rightful thing to do at that time.

i think we should bother. it would be a waste of time imparting your thought and not bothering about what others think. what we should not bother about is whether they believe we are wrong to have thought like that. we all have the freedom to be wrong or right, but not to impinge on that of others. your suggestions are free to be wrong; but don't ask me to have them until i wish to.

I'm not sure what you mean about "wrong foot", unless it means our approach to a situation. If somebody wants our advise then they should at least listen, they asked didn't they? I know that some people want to give advise when they shouldn't and those people might lead you with the wrong foot and that can be bad. Most people want to help and if you know somebody who has gone through something you have its good to seek their advise on the matter. Most of the time they will not steer you in the wrong direction but make you think about the direction you are going in the first place.

If they ask you to butt out, you should; but I see no reason to stop giving good advise just because they don't understand it. Perhaps after a while, if they think about it, they will see that your advice was right.

I don't have the habit of giving unsolicited advice because of this reason- i don't want to be on the wrong foot.
Or maybe, it's just my attitude not to give advice to people until they ask my opinion.
But of course it is different when I am on a meeting with our company/organization- I always share my thoughts whether they agree or not.

I feel to give advices on having experieced or studied a situation, be it solicited or not. Otherwise I would say to do what ever they like.

Yes, people can mistake our intents so many times but also because someone done that to them so I think the brain tries to recognize where we seen that before and the first impulse is to protect ourselves. I also miss understand people's intentions, it happens, it's like I see something bad begining to start so I take my actions.

Never waste your energy on people who doesn't accept a suggestion,to make an improvement,or set a wrong right.Keep them at an arms length and that will save you from unhappiness.
