"Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer... but wish we didn't."
If there is something more annoying and time consuming in the world is called GIVING ADVICE. As a society, we always find ourselves in the need to help and support those who are having a tough time. The problem with this is that it’s bullshit. People don’t want to hear the SOLUTION, instead they want someone to tell them what makes them feel good. Whenever we have a problem, MOST of us have the capacity to analyze it, and come up with the solution… yet, we still ask people to give us advice; as if there is some MAGICAL answer that will solve the problem. Most people hear the advice, and then do the opposite. I think we should change GIVING ADVICE into WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR… because in the end, that’s what it is. Here are some examples:
“My girl left me and I can’t live without her”
Real Advice- She left you because she’s a whore, so YES you can live without her, since she slept with half the city. Move on and find someone new.
What they want to hear- I know what you’re feeling. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. She will realize that you are her soul mate, and she will return.
“I did drugs again, even though I said I wouldn’t”
Real Advice- Stop being a loser and go to rehab.
What they want to hear- We all make mistakes but I’m sure that you will be stronger than your problems.
“I think he might be cheating”
Real Advice- YES HE’S CHEATING! You know it because of all the trail of proof he is living behind.
What they want to hear- NO! It’s just a miss understanding. Everything that led you to think that way is just in your head. I’m sure that you will talk it over… AND EVERYTHING WILL BE JUST FINE.
“I don’t think that kid is mine”
Real Advice- Hmmm you are Irish and your kid looks Hispanic. No shit!!!
What they want to hear- He looks like you but just a little darker. I’m sure that one of your ancestors was Hispanic.
“I feel like ending with all this, and committing suicide”
Real Advice- Go for it. Its been 2 years of hearing the same shit and you still don’t do it. You’re still sitting your fat ass on the couch watching TV.
What they want to hear- Suicide is not the solution. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. You are stronger than your problems and you will conquer all your problems.
“Nobody loves me because I’m fat”
Real Advice- You are right. Stop eating and go jogging. 10 years without a boyfriend is way too long.
What they want to hear- That’s not true! Everyone loves you. One day you will meet someone who loves you for who you are ( his name is God).
In conclusion, if you are a Drama hater, like me… do not give advice!!! Because for some reason, he who truly tries to help, ends up looking like a heartless A-hole. In the end, we all believe in what we choose to believe, even if that blinds us from the truth.
Conflict
PS- Remember...everything happens for a reason.
