I think giving advice is not always good, it all depends on the person you are talking to.
I would say that I have a somewhat large social circle, and not all my friends want to hear a possible "solution" when it comes to telling their problems, I have had friends even reproach me when I apparently don't say the "right advice" or just tell them that I would do something totally different than what they originally had planned.
I guess life is slowly teaching me that it's not always good to give advice. Just as I have given them, I have also received them, and even I myself have felt somewhat "attacked" when someone tries to give me advice because sometimes there is advice that goes against your principles and things that you have been doing maybe for years, and to see how a friend can give you "advice" saying that what you are doing is completely wrong. I don't know, at least I would rather not have known that.
and no, it's not that I've been doing anything excessively wrong, we were just chatting about arguing with strangers on social networks like twitter or facebook xd
btw, nice food pics :)
Exactly the point of my post I guess, advice-giving can be a touchy thing.
That's bonkers, but probably quite human. I think people are a little lazy and want answers fed to them. It happens with the media (news services) which, in my opinion, is little more than propaganda fed to the masses. People want things to be easy, and often like the thought of passing the blame off to someone else, which is easily done if someone has handed them advice.
Unsolicited advice can be quite damaging, I agree. Facebook and other such "social medias" are renowned for it; thankfully (by design) I don't have any social media, other than Hive.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.
