I have always found myself in situations where I have to give advice and I admit I use the technique you used on your friend too. Instead of talking endlessly after they've said their piece, I listen intently and then ask them questions about what they think about it and how they can work it out.
I feel that's always the best way to advise by listening. Let people make decisions themselves because deep down, they know what to do. They just need someone to hear them before they take any steps.
I found my taste bud swirling around at the image of the foods shown and saying it was sumptuously made added more delight to it.
Perfect, a great way to do it.
Doing this allows them to feel good about decisions that work out and means that they're accountable for decisions that do not. They have no one to blame and, as we all know, blame is negative and unproductive.
It was tasty indeed. I'll be going back to that café for certain!
Yes, it is. That's why one has to be very cautious when dealing with humans especially when it deals with decision-making. Whatever they intend to do will make a "show" in their plans.
Oh, gosh, now I wish I could zoom myself out there too😂😂. I love good food.
The danger in giving advice to friends (or others) is that if it doesn't work out that person could lay blame and that could end badly for the friendship. Of course, there's a time and place for it, situations where giving advice is very warranted. One needs to approach it with caution.
Yeah, one needs to. Humans can be scary and loving too.
