Quick Takeaway [1]:
Why do we hate getting advice from others?
Yet we act as if it's our own epiphany when the same exact things are realized from the initial advice?
Is it the case of 'none of your business' or simply the ego's talking?
It has to do with your ego and problem is the obsession of being right.
Humans have the urge to be right and hate confrontation even though they clearly know they're wrong.
This psychological phenomenon shows that the person at fault wants to maintain his/her psychological stability, even though you can't be correct all the time but you'd like to believe you are to stroke your ego, image, and reputation.
Just as much as we hate hearing 'I told you so.'
He who can't be advised, can also not be helped. — Latin proverb

These days I mostly write on Steemit.
I still have my portfolio and personal sites— virtuallydebbie.com and debbieang.com.
But these sites will eventually redirect you to my Steemit blog.
Well, what can I say. If it’s good stuff, you can’t get enough of it :)
Follow me and I'll take you through my unpredictable journey— filled with wilderness, curiosity, and randomness.
