Why do people ask for advice but never take it?

i do this. i dont know why. maybe fear of what would happen or maybe just not ready for that big move. whats ur opinion?Why do people ask for advice but never take it?
Sometimes it's just good to hear other peoples opinion especially if you're not sure of your own .Why do people ask for advice but never take it?
Because people often aren't really looking for advice when they ask for it. They're usually looking for someone else to validate whatever it is that they've already decided for themselves. If they receive advice that is contrary to their decision, the ignore it and proceed with the plan they had in the back of their mind all along.
What is the difference between ANGEL and human being ?Angels are fine but can do only as directed .Human beings are born free and independent and can perform vivid and independent activities .Give fine advice and guidence and never worry for it if not taken as directed as there is independent thinking give abundently to this human kind .Never stop giving advice as all are enquiring about a little bit of truth .Who knows which is true .Thank you for putting a fine question for yahoo readers .
I think usually when people seek advice, what they are really seeking is validation - or in other words - they want the other person's advice to agree with what they already know their choice will be.


An old saying goes ';A mind convinced against it's will, is of the same opinion still.';



Because people are always looking for someone else's view of their situation. Maybe it's to prove to themselves that it is as bad or as good as they think it is. Sometimes, I think people do it to showoff.

I rarely ask for advice these days. My only advice to you is to follow your gut instinct, it's usually right. Only you know yourself and what you are capable of. Just go with the flow of life, whatever happens will happen - good and bad.
people take the advice from many and then summarize it as per their own mindset and then take actions. this is the right way of taking any decision
How do you know that people dont take the advice they are given?
people don't like to be told what to do.............and they will ultimately do whatever they want to do. lol
because we are all stupid and even if the person is closer to us than anyone else they still cant relate
