People come to me for advice for different reasons. I don't know if it's because of my vast array of knowledge (jack of all trades - master of none) or if it's because they feel I will always be honest with them but people value my opinion. That being said, I've run into situations recently where I have given what I considered good advice. The individual(s) receiving the advice chose to ignore it and did their own thing. This decision led to continued problems. Here's my thing - why ask for my advice and then do the opposite? In other situations, I chose not to give advice because I knew the individual would not follow my guidance. This also led to an unhappy situation. So what's the point?? If I give advice, people don't use it properly. If I don't give advice, people get upset that I didn't try to steer them in the right direction. Damned if I do. Damned if I don't.
