If you asked advice, would you take it or just carry on as normal?

Question

I tend to only hear what I want to hear. What about you?

Answer 1

Most people want to hear advice that coincides with what they already think. If they hear something they don't like they tend to ignore it. Personally I stopped asking for advice (unless it is technical). I weigh pros and cons of any decision and then make it myself. I try not give advice either. I may express my opinion if asked point out what a certain decision may result in and then leave the choice to the person.

Answer 2

It depends on if I thought the advice was good or bad. I don't just automatically do what the person tells me, but I listen to what they have to say. Sometimes other people can see things that are not so obvious to you. If you go to the trouble of asking someone for advice, you should at least think about what they're trying to tell you.

Answer 3

When I ask for advice, I really need it. If someone offers me constructive advice about an important decision, I am going to consider it carefully. I might agree with them, I might not. But I am still going to consider what they have said when I make my decision. Otherwise, what was the point of asking for their advice. It takes maturity to consider other people's opinions when they are very different from our own, but that is when true growth occurs.

Answer 4

I would consider the advice and use it to weigh the pros and the cons of my decision. I normally listen to the advice and based on it and what I think, I decide. Some advice is not very good or wise but sometimes it is worth listening to.

Answer 5

Asking for advice doesn't mean you have to take it. You're just looking for someone else's opinion so that you can make a final decision on what you want to do regarding the situation.

Answer 6

Advice is just advice it is never the complete solution, it might be part but it is up to ones self to convert or consider and then use parts of it for the solution if you know what i meaan. We find what parts of it work or are relavent and use those if needed.

I just take it in consideration but i make the final decission.

Answer 7

if you ask for advice and it is offered just take what you need from it and move on . asking more than one person will give you a variety of answers and you can put it all together with what you have learned from the answers .

Answer 8

It depends if you listen with your head or your heart and the well-being of either when the advice was given.

Answer 9

i hear all the advice and then decide which is the most helpful and move on

Answer 10

It will depend on whether I consider the advice is helpful, viable or even advisable to follow or not.
