Aquarius good at giving advice but can't advise s

Why does it seem so easy for me to counsel others, intently listen to them, ask indepth questions, all of that and come up with options, answers, advice. But, when it comes to my (especially in love) issues I question myself, think I've come up with a game play, talk it over with my friends and listen to their comments and concerns only to end up doing what I wanted in the first place.
Then, once I've committed to this game play I start re-analyzing everything, again. Frustration!

yes, I am the exact same way. I have to analyze everything. I ask my friends for advice and analyze their answers and, like you said, come right back to the answer that I came up with in first place! I've grown accustomed to it, I guess.

hi everyone,

i'm not an quarian (scorpio), but i'm similar. i can give good advice to others, but when it comes to my own fate: complete chaos...

however i've discovered, that a lot of people (especially aquarians!)only think they're a mess and feel insecure when it comes down to making their own decisions, but in fact they come up with sometimes even brilliant solutions to their problems!!!
i think that you guys only reflect your situation and the decisions you're making differently/wrong.

be self-confident, no fear!!!

with me it's sometimes the other way round. i tend to be overconfident and trust my decisions, but they end up to be wrong and bring me trouble.
at the same time, when i give advice to other peope and they follow it, they're often on the safe side and everything's fine.

same problem as you guys, just different perspective. the effect is similar, though: insecurity about ourselves.

what does everyone else think—

Is it really insecurity or do I just want my way? When I really think about it, my advice to others is all theory coming from me, but they have to implement the theory. I guess sometimes I'm not so willing to do the work it takes to implement someone else's theory for myself, especially when it comes to pleasureable issues. Someone may say don't get involve (which always means sex with me) with him, but if I really want that I go for it. Usually it's all good, it's just what I thought it would be, but I hadn't thought passed the sexual into the personal. The sex is great then I find that I really don't have anything else in common with this person. Or the reverse happens where I really like the person we have alot in common but the sex is not happening. You would think that at the age I am (over 40) I would have handle on this.

I'm glad that I have this forum to expose myself without someone judging me.

waterbearer, you have a point there...

I think this is true for everyone. I mean who hasn't given friends and family excellent advice on something, then when found in the same situation we find we can't follow the same advice?? Its so much easier to view and logically analyze from the outside than from the inside.
