What are some good methods to give advice?

Maybe like I good method. What things should I consider? How should I pick my choice of words? What should my thinking process be? I need some kind of method that will apply to a friend you somewhat know. I also need one for someone you don't kow much about. Any method would help!

The very first rule of giving advice is to LISTEN. And when I say listen, I mean ';let them vent'; --- let them get it all out of their system before you even begin to answer.





The second rule of giving advice it to remain OBJECTIVE. And when I say objective, I mean that you have to ';remove yourself'; from the emotions that this person is feeling, and honestly look at what the problem may actually be from a third party standpoint. You know how sometimes we all tend to vent about a certain incident in our lives and we want so badly for someone to just understand OUR point of view? Most likely, anyone who is asking you for advice feels that way --- but as an objective person giving advice, you have to try to understand what the other party in the ';incident'; may have been feeling or may have been trying to say themselves...





As an example, I have a sibling who gets all upset about how another person is treating them and they usually want to use me as a sounding board. I've learned that I can't interject anything constructive UNTIL they are totally finished with ';letting it out'; and making me ';understand their point.'; Sometimes, to difuse the situation, I have to say something like, ';Well, do you think he really meant to say that? Was something bothering HIM? Do you think that maybe he was just taking his frustrations out on you?';





I try to make the other person realize that there are questions about the other person's behavior that also need to be considered, when they are that upset themselves....





Usually, it works, but I'd have to know more details about the particular advice you are attempting to give, and why....What are some good methods to give advice?
Sorry. Advice giving is old school. ';Reflective listening'; and empowerment skills on your part are now the way.





Check source.
Ask as many questions as possible when they are explaining themselves, and try not to mix your personal views in with what you say. Think of yourself at the time as a psychologist helping a case. Haha, i know sounds awful. Have you ever seen the Sopranos?? Try using the same demeanor that Dr. Melfi uses. Just remember to... listen!
When its a friend and you know more about their history, I would just be sympathetic, and let them know you are there for them.. Be honest, but cautious about his/her feelings.. As far as the public (people you don't know), look at the question from a social perspective, and only advise them with situations in which you are familiar with. Good luck!
1 consider how you would react in that situation


2 how would you like to be treated


3 knowbody ever really knows anyone.
Listen and not hear


Understand because many people know but do not understand.


Are you sure you want to dish out advice or just a thought.


Sometimes it pays just to listen and the other person will sort out his/her problem in their own way.


It is important we know the truth and the root of the problem before we give a helping hand.
Well you should consider if the advice your giving is appropriate.


Consider the situation then give advice.


Always listen.


Ask lots of questions.
