do you take your own advice

[Phil]

I try to follow my own advice but I don't think I do.... at all

[Yawn]

probably not
i think i know wat i should be doing, but whether i do that is another story

[Eric]

yes i usually give out advice by putting myself into the situation

[Chris]

I can't seem to take my own advice, but then again I don't think many people are very good at taking their own advice either.

[Kardan]

Yes.

Why would you give out advice to other people if you don't believe in it yourself?

[wixard]

Yes.

Why would you give out advice to other people if you don't believe in it yourself?

because it's a lot easier to say something than do it

[FlyingJesus]

Because what's good for others isn't always what's good for you

[Kardan]

But isn't that what advice is? You telling people what you think is the best solution? If I give advice, I'd put myself in that situation and tell them what I'd do.

[Cerys]

No haha, I give them advice because I know it's the best thing they can do, but when I'm in that situation I ignore my advice. I know it's the best thing to do, but it's not exactly the most fun thing to do hehe ;3

just because it's the best solution doesn't mean you're able to carry it out, a persons judgement can be clouded by emotions or feelings such as fear

the best example i can think of us if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend that cheats, everyones quick to say 'you need to break up and move on' but when it happens to them it can be a struggle to follow through
