Here's our new...



Yep, it's the Discussion of the week! This is Advice Corner and a lot of times people drop by asking advice. But here are some members too who never ask for advice, they are always helping others out. Soo....

Let's think about...

Are you an advice seeker or giver? That is, do you find yourself mostly asking for advice or giving one?

If you're only an advice giver, do you not have any problems in life or you don't trust other's advice on it? Do you like to deal with problems alone?

Do you think asking for advice helps you? You get so many people's views and different takes on your suggestion. Does it ultimately help?
If you're seeking advice, what qualities would you want to see in the person who's advising you?

Enjoy discussing!

I am mostly asking for an advice-seeker from friends. There are times, when I personally feel like I have to deal with the problems myself, since it might end up hurting another person.... so I like to solve my problems personally at times.
So when so many people try to help you in their own way, with their suggestions... I think it ultimately does help. It just takes guts to admit you have a problem, and you need help with it.

I think i give advice.
If you're only an advice giver, do you not have any problems in life or you don't trust other's advice on it? Do you like to deal with problems alone?
I do have problems in life but they're not that serious!..i have'nt gone through something really major..n if i feel i need advice on something i will def ask

Do you think asking for advice helps you? You get so manypeople's views and different takes on your suggestion. Does it ultimately help?
I'm sure it def will..but if i dont have major problems..there's nothing to ask! 😛 Yeah it does because i get to know people's views on my advice. It does'nt always have to be correct so others views on it is appreciated
If you're seeking advice, what qualities would you want to see in the person who's advising you?
The person should have gone through something similar or should have known someone who's gone through it. Otherwise i do'nt think he/she will have much knowledge about the issue.

Enjoy discussing!

Are you an advice seeker or giver? That is, do you find yourself mostly asking for advice or giving one? I am most definitely an advice giver😆 I just don't feel comfortable asking anyone for advice not because I think I am all high and mighty but just because I like to take care of problems my own way :)

If you're only an advice giver, do you not have any problems in life or you don't trust other's advice on it? Do you like to deal with problems alone? As I have stated above i just like to deal with problems on my own because sometimes involving other people simply creates more problems rather than solving the earlier ones😆

Do you think asking for advice helps you? You get so many people's views and different takes on your suggestion. Does it ultimately help? I think it simply depends on what the main problem is like for example if you ask too many people about which dress to wear then it might not work out that great but if you're asking different people on more serious advice such as depression than yeah more input will essentially mean more help :)

If you're seeking advice, what qualities would you want to see in the person who's advising you? Think from my perspective :) Some people give out advices without pausing to think about what the other person's situation really is. What they don't realize is that not everyone faces similar situations in similar ways. I hope that made some sense😆

Good discussion Mahi👏

I am new to this section so....today i asked for advice and also gave advice.


If you're only an advice giver, do you not have any problems in life or you don't trust other's advice on it? Do you like to deal with problems alone?
If i was only an advice giver, the reason(s) would be that first i'd like to try to solve it on my own. Or it might be something i would rather discuss with someone whos family.
Do you think asking for advice helps you? You get so many people's views and different takes on your suggestion. Does it ultimately help?
Yes, it does. It helps because it gives me options and it is easier to think than stressing over the problem and then all of a sudden your mind goes blank and you stress EVEN more. So yeah......
If you're seeking advice, what qualities would you want to see in the person who's advising you?
The person should be able to think logically and seriously....i would want the advisor to have an optimistic look of things so i dont get negative advises. If you know what i mean because i know i dont make sense.....LOL
