I was an idiot who was on the advice giving side. Looking back I can see how I was a really shitty friend. I am glad to come across these types of topics so that the person opening up to me can have someone who listens without jumping in with advice. Please forgive us idiots who don’t know any better.
- gkya 9y agoDon't be so harsh on yourself. Frankly I too am sometimes one of those idiots. The urge to advice someone, especially if you think you know the domain well, is very hard to resist. While I always was annoyed by advices (THB also when I needed them the most), it's rather late when I realised how much I was guilty of giving them invasively. Since then I'm actively avoiding giving advices unless asked.
