Are you good at giving advice? Do people ever come to you for advice?

How do you help someone when you dont know what to tell them?
 
I've had several people come to me for advice. I don't really give them advice. I give them my opinion as to what I would do in their situation. It's up to them if they agree or disagree with my opinion. Like Smooth, I will stick it out until they have solved whatever it was they came to me for. I find a lot of times people aren't really seeking advice. They are seeking a person who will let them vent and not judge them for doing so.
 
I don't really have enough life experience to give advice

So I tend to just lend my support/an ear to listen.
 
Ever hear the old proverb:



Those who give advice

Are not the ones who pay the price




That pretty much explains why I neither give nor seek advice.
