I think that anyone can offer sage advice to those in need if they have the following abilities:
1. common sense
2. the ability to both listen to what is being said,and what is not being said...which is sometimes more important.
3. EMPATHY
4. the ability to understand your own limitations. In other words, don't send someone down a path if you don't know where that path will lead.
How does that make you feel?
Good Luck!

I don't know about being an amateur shrink exactly, but people seem to talk to me a lot. I'm not quite sure why either; maybe I just have a trustworthy face and the ability to listen well.

It's not that I consider myself an amateur shrink, it's more that those who come to me to have me listen to, then solve their problems, think I must be. I simply listen and then tell them what I would do if I was in their position. Apparently that qualifies me for the task and title. Good question!!!

I am very smart in my own world and can be very focussed.
By 'in my own world' I mean mastering the influence others have on you by always knowing when it is "your thoughts" or "their thoughts". I can cary or orient a conversation in my way by intelligently demonstrating the flaws of their thinking or the glory of mine. But I think I'm actually manipulating people by doing that. Recently I only talk when asked...it's better for everybody....

Yes, I love observing human nature and psychoanalyzing people. It fascinates me trying to figure out why they are the way they are and what makes them tick. I'm usually just observant and try to pick up on cues or hints about themselves in the conversation (if I have one with them).

NO= but I see no harm in helping others from my walks of life from 7 countries. If I can help some of you with your questions then that will make my day.

It's called communication which is part of life. Why, has sharing experience become a disease, if so, please share.
