Why do people always insist on giving advice? Why do people assume they know better than you? How do stop it?

A lot of time people speak and give advice about thing that they did make mistake before and ussually their advice is somethings that they can not accomplish. Well it make them feel better when they think they are smart and wise than you. Just ignore them or change the subject when they start giving you advice. I have tried it and it works( at least for me)

Let  me  say  something to you that  I wish I could  tell you I  thought up myself, but I didn't.  It  was something  a very very wise  person   once   said...... .     Nobody EVER  got something  right, who hadn't   got it  wrong a  few times  first.   What  I will say that  did come from  me, is this:    The people  who  have  always  ended up being the most  admired in this world,  are the ones  who  struggled  and  struggled  with something for a  long time,  and  nobody believed in them ,  and they  were  mocked, and made  fun of,  and laughed  at,   or insulted.    But    they never quit  They just  KNEW somehow,   that sooner or later  this thing    they  were   working so hard   on,   was  going to come right   in the end.\n                                              It  doesn't matter if  you  never "invent the wheel"  or   find   some  fantastic  new  thing  that    will make you a  ton of money.      It's just  the  same for a person   who simply keeps  on  trying to be better  at this business  we  call "living".    My dad  used to call it stickwithitness"  he   talked about it  so much when I  was  young,  that  in the end,  every  time  I  duffed  something up, or  I  just  wanted to  quit,   I could hear my  dad  say that word   "Stickwithitness"-    and  that  was enough to make  me   grin,  and  think  to myself "Oooohkaaaaay   Dad,   watch  this...." Then I'd  just  keep on going.     \n                                                 So my  advice is  this...   any time   anybody  laughs  at you or  makes  fun of you for  "getting it  wrong"....  screwing   it up.      Just smile to yourself,  and be  encouraged to keep  right on  going,  because, you  see,  people  who mock others,   usually do it because  they never had  what it  takes to "stickwithit"   and what they  really  want  is  for YOU  to fail  so they don't  feel so much alone.

Because they think they're better than others, or either they're insecure about themselves and try to find fault in others just for the heck of it. It happens a lot nowadays, you just have to learn to be more open-minded. If people dont like you for who you are, that's their problem.

They're jealous maybe? \n\ni really dont know, but if we initiate trying to help someone then we are bad, but if we are asked for help, we are expected to step and just do it.

Some of my best friends are people who, like you, tell it like it is and don't 'pull any punches.'  \nYou should absolutely stay true to yourself, but that doesn't mean you can't hold back comments sometimes when you feel they wouldn't be well received or if they might be hurtful.  You don't have to lie, but if you can spare someone's feelings by holding your tongue, then maybe that would be a good idea.\n\nRemember, not everyone wants to know the truth, they are happier in their delusions.  So, by pointing out what may be obvious to you, you will make then angry or sullen.\n\nThink of your wisdom and life experiences as having value and don't be giving them away free every time you open your mouth. Instead, let others learn from their own mistakes and strive for their own life experiences.

i think most people want to think they have an opinion on something, so they just make stuff up without even knowing what they're talking about. they want to sound smart, but the SMART thing to do would be to know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.\n\nbut about your problem. would it be bad to ask the people their opinions and just tell them you don't feel like you know enough about it yet to have an opinion? maybe they'll tell you a little about it and you'll learn about it so you WILL have an opinion the next time. just ask them.

Because they are insecure. Do you give them a reason not to trust you? That's where questions usually originate in this fashion.

Actually, i'd rather someone told me. So, what you are doing is simply trying to help me and you're also considering my goodness.. What's better than this? On the other side, yeah i may become a little bit angry with myself, saying like how can i forget or ignore this.. But, certainly i'd appreciate you then.. :) So, keep it up, be yourself and don't pay attention to their reactions at that time, i think...

Well, it was Abraham Lincoln who once said that you can trick all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you cannot trick all of the people all of the time. You are one of those people not tricked by all of the people all of the time.\n\nTo answer your question, it feels good to be able to answer somebody's question. If someone seeks for the knowledge, and I know the answer, I am willing to share. I agree that it is unnecessary to put someone down for asking a question because life is all about learning and making mistakes. What fun is it to drive down every street corner and know exactly who lives on either side and never get lost? It may be convenient, but it takes all the fun out of the anticipation.

Because they think you can do better, and they're just fustrated with you.  Well with my experiences it's usually fustrating because they come and complain about their men/women, but then always go back to them at the end of the day.

When we put forth our answers with conviction & sincerity it helps , but remember our past impressions (record) plays a big role convince a person . also remember when you promise some thing to some one you are doubting your own capability to stand true to your word.Your words should make others take your statements on face value ( no pleading no begging) it is a long and tiresome path which you and your dear & near ones both have to walk on. for that is COMPATIBILITY in it's true & genuien form,which needs no explanation or convincing.

Not always. Some people ask questions that have facts as the answer. \n\nPeople asking opinion questions may not understand whatever situation they are in and need advice. People's answers help them make sense of the situation and may bring to their attention things they never thought of before. People go through many of the same situations and seeing how other people handle it can help out a lot.

Someone who seeks help is a stronger person than someone who thinks they have all the answers. If someone is going to judge you for seeking help then perhaps they've got their own issues to deal with.

I would rather be respected by people that way people are not afraid of you and they would be willing to talk to you and share problems. If you are feared you are alone, people stay away from you and would never take your advice even if you gave it.

Just be yourself and don't worry about ignorant people who think they are better than you. These people have to degrade you to make themselves feel better. Let them call you names, joke about how you function in the world, and laugh at your personality,etc., it's just their way of turning the spotlight away from themselves because they are afraid if you look too closely at "them", you may find a few flaws. If they would turn on their brights, they would realize everyone is different; has bad points and good points; and acceptance brings people closer. Maybe they are just sooooo unhappy, they want to drag you down to their dungeon to suffer with them. Try extending an olive branch or making a peace offering, and if that does not work, forget about them, do your own thing, and sooo politely tell them to kiss your arse.   \nP.S.  I am a Redneck, shhhhhh....don't tell anybody!!(:
