I think i need to go back to my unspoken rule of not talking to friends about my relationship issues. It gets awkward when u don't do as they advised. Mind u this friend never takes my advice also. Still, it's awkward, person don dey old pass something.
So do u guys have rules about stuff like that? What works? I guess it depends on the friend though.

never give friends advice on their love lifes, i dont even understand why they ask me when ive never even had a boyfriend.most times, i just feel like they just need someone to listen.
ReplyDeletei dont know why anyone will be mad that you didnt follow the person's advice.i really dont think its that big a deal.
I'm with Leggy on this. Maybe you'll also let them know you just want their opinion and not their advice?
ReplyDeleteI agree with leggy
ReplyDeleteThere is no hard and fast rule. Sometimes you just listen, other times, you need to give a honest opinion and at times you need to lie a bit till the situation clears. It is differentiating between the 3 that is hard.
ReplyDeleteThey won't be mad you didnt take their advice, the worst is they will say 'I told you so'.
When I ask friends for advice on a situation, there's nothing that says I will take their advice. Sometimes I just want to know what they would do, and it helps me figure out what I would do.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I have given friends advice that I thought they really should follow for their own good but I don't get angry that they didn't...I just feel sad when things turn out the way I predicted and they could have avoided the pain.
