How annoying is that sentence starting with "If I were you...", does people not get it? you are not me and I am not you. It is quite simple. You can not never ever know inside out another person, so there is not use for If I were you...
I don't know everything; I am far away for being wise too. I do appreciate opinions and experiences sharing from knowledgeable people and people I appreciate like family and close friends.
But there is a different between and honest opinion and a "If I were you..." without base.
I was talking to a friend yesterday, we used to work together for a company, and I was telling her I applied again for that company as I needed a job to pay my bills while I am still looking a job I would actually like to do. And she started with all over "If I were you..." and "I would not apply for full time because it is way too hard..." and "you are very tired after this and that..." and "If I were you...." and I was just mad.
Helloooo? Get out of your self-centered isolation for a second; we used to work together there, remember? for 4 years? yes? I do know what it is about and if I were "me" ...
How much do we like to think we know better than the others? is it a wise thing to wind up?
