[QUOTE="Jena, post: 128551, member: 4514"] hi interesting question. i think that if someone is asking for advice then they want the advice. yet although they ask for it does not mean that once given they will accept it with an open heart. i think alot of us at times, i know i do will ask for advice when my heart knows the answer yet i'm testing the waters, want feedback so to speak. yet sometimes the advice or true answer to my problem lays in my heart it isn't what i want to do. alot of us i think also have to live our own lives as stated and go down our own roads make our own mistakes and don't always take the advice given in certain situations. all depends on the person taking the advice and one giving it i think. ok i haven't slept much and not sure if that makes sense.....lol another thought that holds true for myself especially is if family gives me advice yet it's done in an abrasive aggressive manner of more matter of fact and telling me what to do i shut down and do not listen. i find that when someone shares their tale, then states what they have learned then throws it out i'm more open to hearing it and taking from it what i need. i often find here to be very validating and very reassuring and incredibly helpful. most times the advice is given in such a loving and supportive way without judgement. which to me is key [/QUOTE]
