just like people like to talk about themselves, i think people want the satisfaction of knowing that someone acted on their advice.

one time i gave a friend some advice and he did the exact opposite. oh, the satisfaction! xD


If I'm giving people advice (in a non-casual setting) then I always try to preface it with the fact that advice is usually, if not always, anecdotal and ego-driven
