When people ask you for advice do they really just want you to agree with their opinion?

I've been thinking about it, and well that's what it's like.


People will say something along the lines of ';Such and such is an ********, I wan't to break up with them. What do you think?'; and then if you push for details and tell them you disagree with them they get REALLY defensive.


I just can't understand what people want.


Do they really want advice or do they want a sound board that bounces back what they've said to them.


I've only used one example but the majority of people I know, if not all, act to a certain degree this way.


What's up with that?When people ask you for advice do they really just want you to agree with their opinion?
When someone asks ';what do you think,'; how is that asking for advice? Anyways, I agree. When someone asks ';what do you think'; they are asking for your opinion and to me, it's natural for someone to look for answerers who agree. However, disagreeing comes naturally with opinions and no one said the questioner HAD to agree with everything, so again, it's natural to have a debate. To me, it's not a problem.When people ask you for advice do they really just want you to agree with their opinion?
No problem! ^__^
