As a followup to yesterday’s post - I’m not saying that I never give advice from my own perspective. I’m just very careful to make sure that the recipient of the advice knows where I’m coming from. I say things like “If it were me.” or “Here’s what I did, and here’s why I did it.”

Obviously, sometimes that’s what people are looking for. I don’t think those things are implicit in the advice giving process though, and a lot of people treat them that way.
