Should have added...not always a matter of intelligence. Its often about temperment, as well.


Bottomline is, some people are effective communicators and some are not. Doesn't matter how great your advice is; delivery is everything.


IMO, if you are constantly giving advice that many others can't seem to 'comprehend,' perhaps its not them with the problem. Perhaps you ought to learn how to communicate more effectively, or just shut the fuck up and stop wasting your breath on those too stupid to understand.

Is this your way of defending your lady?

Its good to give straight forward hard advice but when one resorts to insults it all becomes anti helpful. It just creates attacks all around.

Nefer is the best example of giving good advice and being a hard ass when she needs to without resorting to being a total cunt.



You pop off with enough asshole remarks of your own to make you a total hypocrite. You know who hypocrites are Days?

In any event, I don't endorse tearing someone down just for the sake of it. There is a difference between being blunt/honest and degrading.

What an incredibly self-righteous thread, you must be a Libra Oh wait a Libra would never say anything unpopular😛

Compassion goes a long way, they're not asking for their problems to be fixed they need someone to listen. Anyway the aftermath of a mistake is the only effective slap from reality, talk is cheap and no one listens to know-it-alls.


For what it's worth I do respect folk who place honesty above self-image and being liked.



The point of this thread flew entirely over your head. Big shocker.

Why get out a cat-o-nine tails when a tap of a riding crop is just as effective. No need for bloodshed. Some are so wrapped up in their internal tantrum advice is beyond being looked at objectively in any event. A direct attack makes someone go on the defensive and explode. Going out of ones way to be an ass isn't constructive, it's destructive.
I'm all for honesty and straightforward advice. I am also for diplomacy, a bit of tact and some kindness. It's all in the delivery. Some are not here for a light changing light bulb to be flicked on, they are here to give voice to something and seek a bit of compassion.



I'm not supporting tearing someone else down. I'm simply saying that people are scared of being honest.
