Here's your friend Mahi bringing you the....

Yep, it's the Discussion of the week! All of us get lots of advice every now and then, but it ultimately depends on us why we take some advice or not or even someone's advice or not.

Let's think about...

Who would you go to first if you have a problem and need an advice? Why?

Why does a particular person's advice matter to you more than anyone else's? Is it because he/she understands you a lot more than others? Or is it because they are important to you?

Do you trust him/her completely? Do you want just a shoulder to cry on or a hug to feel secure at times more than any advice?

Enjoy discussing!

totally agree love_anon

First i go to my mum..she is my besstteesstt friend, and She is alot wiser than i am. Also she isnt going to give any wrong advice, so whatever she will tell me, it will be in my best interest

Then i ask my fiance..what he says matters to me, but not as much as my mum..perhaps because i don't know him as well yet, but hopefully that should be happening soon too..

I also trust my own instincts, so that I know I can think and make descisions for myself too..and then perhaps reconfirm with my mum!!!

Actually, first I go to my sister. She'll explain if things are serious or if I am overacting. She'll tell me ways to solve the problem, but if I still don't feel any better, I go to my dad. He always knows the right thing to say because his words are so strong. He's had so many experiences, that his life stories are like a story book to me, each one opening itself as a certain situation comes along. My mom helps along the way as well :)

Just thought I would like to say that, great discussion by the way!

I actually have no one who can understand me ..may be coz when i try to open up ppl start giving biased suggestions and i usually avoid asking advice from my known ppl ..ppl who know me quite welll.. coz they tend to bias the solution .

i feel that they will feel bad if i dont take ur advice or follow their advice ...they might feel let down

But taking it all yourself will make things worse, trust me, I've learned that the hard way. If nobody understands you, try to find someone who can. How about your family?

me and my family have completely different views abt life .which makes thing harder ... i have couple of friends who i can turn to when i feel like venting my heart out.....and it does help out sometimes ...... i feel bad when i dont listen to my friend's advice as my head is so messed up..... my feelings and thinkings are so inconsistent ..they change on hourly basis and i get influenced by ppl very easily . which makes me deficient in my own personality

I'm really sorry to hear that. But that's what this forum is for!😃 We'll try to help whenever we can. Yea, I also have the problem of being influenced easily by others. But you need to get yourself to think right, and try hard to stick to it. Believing that what you believe is right and saying it over and over can help 😳

Who would you go to first if you have a problem and need an advice? Why?

Emm for me it would totally depend on what situation/matter I needed advice on .. If it's a girl thing I would turn to my female frnds and obviously my mum as she is like a friend to me .. If its career, n life matters I would go to my hubby and my family .. I normally try to reason things out myself b4 seeking advice

does a particular person's advice matter to you more than anyone else's? Is it because he/she understands you a lot more than others? Or is it because they are important to you?

Now that I m married, my hubby's advice matters the most.

you trust him/her completely? Do you want just a shoulder to cry on or a hug to feel secure at times more than any advice?

Yep I completely trust him and I knw that he would advice on whats good for me
