Advice given, not taken
Have you ever had people come to you asking for your advice on how to handle a situation that they are struggling with, then find out they did not take the advice and had bad results, and then they back to you complaining that their situation has worsened and ask you for more advice? That happens to me a lot! And believe me, it gets tiring because you KNOW that if they followed your advice in the first place the problem would have been solved, not worsened! So when they come back the second time begging for advice I’m not really sure how to respond! I rather feel like I’m hitting my head against the wall sometimes! I find it hard to NOT scold them for ignoring the first advice! How do YOU handle situations like this?
