> I wonder if the problem is that, when you give someone advice, you're not giving them the whole thought-structure you've built that strongly implies the advice - you're just giving them the result. So they don't have any of the ideas that support the advice, just a blind aphorism. I'm skeptical. My observation is that it's the messenger that is ignored. Ignoring the advice is simply a side-effect of this. Consider how many people pay therapists many thousands of dollars to simply hear what their spouse was telling them for years. |

An independent professional can confirm real problems. Sometimes they're significantly more useful than friends. Sometimes less.
