Do you give advice that you never follow yourself?

Answer 1

Constantly.

But I think it is one of those things where its a lot easier to give good advice than to receive it because your emotions and beliefs are so wrapped up in the situation that you can't make unbiased choices/opinions.

Answer 2

Rarely, less I be a hypocrite, but as a smoker (a habit I've tried many times to shake), I tell the grandkids to never start smoking, I told the kids that too, only one listened...lol....but one has quit, so I guess it's not too bad.

Answer 3

Sometimes and it depends what kind of advice you give, so just think about it to yourself.

Answer 4

I go to schools and lecture kids on the dangers of drinking and drugs...while in reality I'm a chain-smoking alcoholic who loves to get high

Answer 5

No. That would by hypocritical, deceptive, and arrogant. I hate that.
I believe that I have no right to give advice if I don't follow it myself.

Answer 6

only because the advice isnt applicable in my life and i dont have as many problems as i try to help, but if i were to be faced by such a problem, i would definitely try to not be a hypocrit

Answer 7

I suppose, sometimes...but for the most part, I try to live by what I tell others. To me, this is integrity.

Answer 8

yeah. i always tell my friends to "go for it" and to take risks. but i never do it myself. its alot easier to tell someone to go for it then to actually do it myself.

but i wish i followed my own advice.. i let this great guy slip thru my fingers bc i didn't go for it, and now he moved and i'll probably never see him again... and i think about him allthe time.. sigh..

Answer 9

No, Thou who lacks cannot deliver

Answer 10

All the time. Easier said than done, that's why.
