Do you take peoples advice

[scottish]

Honestly, do you?

Do you accept advice from say anyone or only if they're in positions such as teachers/professors/employers?

Thread moved from Discuss Anything by Ripieno (Moderator) as I feel it's more suited in this section.

rship advice I always want but never seem to apply. if i took advice months ago I could have saved myself the hurt of finding out about the cheating etc

[scottish]

I'd typically take advice from people in a position to give advice (imho) such as employers, professors etc but usually won't so much from other people.

[Absently]

I only really seek advice from my friends and Id like to think I normally take it too

[Empired]

No I always take advice if I don't know what to do. Although I don't usually ask for advice in the first place usually because I can work it out on my own if I give myself some time to think about it. I like advice but it has to be well-meaning, not the kind of advice some people like to give just as an excuse to criticise you

All the advice I've ever taken from friends was a massive waste and ended up having bad reprocussions, so I tend to take it with a pinch of salt.

Don't really tend to ask for advice and if I'm given advice it's usually something I've already considered but was needing a second opinion on to push a decision through. I love giving advice tho and hopefully when people take it it doesn't have as devastating consequences as some of u guys have had!

I never ask for it lol even when sometimes I really should.
generally, no I don't. people give me advice but usually it's telling me how to be more like them (my brother is the worst at this, he's gutted he didn't have a macho brother to go out drinking with or going to the gym) so I ignore it.

I generally don't bother. Either I can work it out myself, nobody is interested enough or it's just not fair to ask someone who's got enough on their plate already.
