Giving Advice
Giving advice is a tricky thing. On the one hand, it’s tempting to think that offering advice is a way of helping others. On the other hand, though, giving advice when it’s not been asked for can be uncomfortable. If you’re not sure whether or not someone wants your advice, it’s best to just ask them!
Some people regularly look to others for advice while others prefer to work out their problems on their own.
