Do you think you are smart? Or that your experience can help others get through the situations? Are you very successfully managing your people in life and you are that happiest bunch?
Why in the world would people like me and you advice others knowing it could influence them someway and why would people want to take advice from people on the interwebs who are sometimes and often little kaka kakis
I throw my wise words because I feel important and smart. And other times because I am a fat troll.
Truthfully, because I hate sitting there and just listening to their situations/problems. I feel like I HAVE to give some advice even though I may not have a clue or be experienced in their situations.
Because it makes you feel better knowing you’ve tried to ease their problems by offering advice.
Because I would love someone to give me some advice when I have my own problems. Sometimes, sorta…
Because I have probably been through the same thing and found ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ and what have you, and would love to give someone else my two cents, and help them, and let them know they can overcome their situation.
Because it’s good to get a different perspective. It sometimes helps you understand your situation better or try a different strategy.
Same reasons why anyone in real life would seek advice. Online forums are alluring because you can post anonymously and share more than you would have normally done with a friend or family member. Even if people judge you, they can’t really track you down in person so in that sense, it’s less risky.
queer, i don’t tell you this often enough lekin agar mujhe kuch ho jaye.. i don’t want to part this world without you knowing that i very much appreciate your wit and smartarsery.
I dunno, but I feel it’s much easier to give advice when you know the person or at least they are in front of you so you can pick up on cues. With online there’s always a chance the reader might interpret it the wrong way or you might have read it wrong. This is only in regards to serious topics though.
What Laiha said. Giving a different perspective. A lot of time, just acknowledging their problems is enough. And sometimes, a different take on the issue helps.
I think, its because I feel like I am helping.Advice is not something the other person has to take, if anything it just helps them see the other side or another way of dealing with something. Might not always be right but its whatever little I can give to help.I think I also give advice because sometimes I feel if I was going through something similar I would not just want people to listen. Listening is good but proper guidance is better and personally I know that I don’t know everything and am usually open to sensible ideas. So I kinda assume that that’s what others would want and that my ideas are sensible.
I understand the importance of just venting etc but it feels a lot better once the problem is actually solved. Sometimes,SOMETIMES, someones advice can help do that.You just have to be smart enough to know when to take it and when to ignore. So basically because I feel that what I have to say might actually help make a difference.
There are times when we all need someone to listen to us and provide an objective take on our situation …something which our own emotions can prevent us from seeing…and it’s understandable that sometimes people don’t have anyone to turn to IRL. Nothing wrong in trying to help ease a person’s heart/mind…you get to learn/reflect from their situations…and kya pata…maybe earn a bit of sawab in helping them out if you do it sincerely.
