Most of the time people don’t want advice. They want someone to listen or bounce ideas off of. They don’t need another person to save them. They need to be reassured that they have the power to save themselves.

My friends and I have an understanding, when one of us comes to the other to talk something out we always ask first "Are you look for space to vent and support, or do you want my perspective?", this way we all know what the other is looking for in such times. I loved this talk.

200,000 years ago one Early human said to the other "I think we should move our shelter in that direction closer to the fruit trees we eat.. " the other said "that's a bad idea, the predators always walk in that area.. we should deal with the minor inconvenience of walking over there, or even find other fruit trees.." That's the history of human conversation. One person says something, the other agrees, disagrees, says their experience, etc. Who knows what game changing information you might hear.. grow a pair.. In academia you want to absorb as many perspectives and data as possible to form your own views. Other people may have good reasons.. Grow a pair.. being a real friend is about sometimes speaking hard truths sometimes..

I decided to stop giving advise a long time ago, mostly because no one took it and got them selves in deeper water despite all my time and effort. But what I found amazing was that my relationships improved so much after I stopped advising and directing the people in my life and started listening. Suddenly I felt the weight taken off my shoulders- their well being was no longer my problem and I could just focus on enjoying my time with them. And they started sharing much more openly and honestly. If only I could have had such a succinct way of explaining that phenomenon way back then. Great talk!

I stopped giving advice a long time ago, when I realized people just wanted a place to vent. Instead of giving advice I just listen and then ask “What do you really want to do about it?” They come up with their own “advice/answers”.......and it’s what they were going to do anyway. Problem solved.

We all think we know the best, don't we? We all work so differently, it's never 1 size fits all. It's amazing that we somehow manage to lead ourselves to believe that we know what is best for those who are close to us, when really we probably haven't a clue what is even best for our own selves. I really appreciated this guys take and his honesty. Good guy.

I think it's also important to remember that the way we jump in is also full of our own filters and perceptions! Like we're never going to interpret a solution purely from a neutral standpoint because 1, the person telling us already has filtered that out and 2, the way we perceive it is going to be based on our own experiences and perspectives. Very tricky indeed!

This is really validating to hear. I've always felt kind of uncomfortable when people give me advice but it's obvious they haven't really understood the whole situation. I never have the courage to correct them and end up just lying and saying I'll try whatever they've suggested. But then I find myself kind of drifting away from that person because I feel hurt that they didn't listen to me properly

I've always been so frustrated when I've needed to vent and instead am answered back with "Oh you know what you should do" or "Well, I were you I would..." but I do always appreciate when someone tries to relate to my vent or story through showing their own vulnerabilities through a similar experience.

I think people are starting to realize now though that when a friend has a big vent to you they just want to be heard and that's okay! It's actually pretty lovely to be able to provide that for a friend, to be their safe space.

Your point about losing connection to humanity when giving advice hit hard for me. It's crucial to maintain empathy and vulnerability in our interactions.

Each person is different and therefore advice, unless asked for, is useless. I really liked this talk, and his way of presenting. I think it's something really important to think about, how we relate and speak to one another, and if we are actually listening or not!

I found myself always giving advise. When someone gives their advise to me I would say I didn’t ask your advise nor do I want it. So one day the light bulb went off and I reversed it and thought they might be thinking like me. That how I was able to start to change in giving advise. Beside. I was start to say why don’t the use they own brains. That was my wake up call. It became to stressful to me. Now I have more inner peace.
