How come people who give advice, never follow their own advice?

I've seen many people whether its online or out in the real world people don't take their own advice they give to others?How come people who give advice, never follow their own advice?
i still, for the life of me, cannot fathom why my friends ask for my advice.





i think to myself ';what the f*ck kind of screwed up situation do you have to be in that you cannot find it in yourself to dig down and reflect on your own experience and find a way to not f*ck up again?';





i personally have to try hard not to screw myself 7 ways from Sunday when i'm doing the laundry. if i give someone advice, it's literally, because they asked for it.





and if i don't follow the same advice when i'm in the same situation, it's cause i figure there are 6 other ways to screw it up and one of them looks more fun at the moment.How come people who give advice, never follow their own advice?
It's easy to say something, anyone can. But not everyone can do something. Just like a person who takes Crack can say 'never go on the stuff, it's not worth it' but can't do that themselves.





Sometimes, people learn about things and give advice based on what they have learned by doing, so sometimes it's not that they don't follow the advice, it's that they didn't know it until after the fact.
Many people (not all) give advice primarily to serve their own egos. It puts them in a one-up position, makes them feel important. It was never about sharing wisdom, because people with wisdom don't need to give advice.





People who are actually concerned about living out their advice spend more time making sure they live it than preaching it. This keeps them too busy to meddle in other people's lives and too humble, observing their own shortcomings, to tell others what to do. They only offer direct advice when asked.
You know everything we ever need to learn to know we can learn by watching Disney cartoons. For example, Alice from Alice in Wonderland sings a song with the same lament. She says ';I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it. That explains the trouble that I'm always in...'; About 30 seconds later, someone is screaming ';Off with her head';. You see?
*DRINK*





Now that's done, have you noticed how some people actually do follow the advice they give to others?





No. Too busy railing at the unjust world we live in. Try to see past all the pageantry.

It's easier to try to help another, than try to fix your self. Dont really count it against them, some wisedom just comes when you are typing freely and genuenly trying to help someone.
They could be hypocritical or the advice might not apply to them.
Are you advising us to quit giving advice if we don't follow it ourselves?
it's easy to open your mouth and talk. It's harder to actually listen.
Because they're hypocrites.
Kiss my hairy bottom.
because it is easier said than done.
i only give advice that i know worked on me
I don't listen to a**holes.....like me.
It's what we perfetc people do, dontcha know?
