I'm not sure if this belongs here...


Question Posted Thursday August 31 2006, 2:50 pm

I have an advicenators column and I'm really good, however I encourage my friends to visit my advice column if they need any sort of advice. It seems that none of my friends really care to tell me about their problems. I really like helping people. But none of my friends even bother to take a visit to my advice column. My question is- How can I make my friend's seem more interested in my advice column and get them to trust me with their problems. Help??? thanks!

If they wanted your advice, they would already be asking you, whether or not it was online or in person. They may not want you and the world to know their business. The site works, because it is ANONYMOUS, so let your friends be. Trust is not something to ask for, it is given.

You shouldn't force your advice at them :P

Maybe your friends don't need advice, your advice will guide them when you talk to them and they bring up problems they have, you can't just sit them down and say "I want to give you advice" if you get what I mean. Just play your role as their friend, when they need help or something then they will go too whoever they feel necessary and if it's you then good :)

If your friends ever need advice, you've told them about your column, so they know it's there and will use it if they want to.
However, I think they'd feel more comfortable telling you face to face.. than having their problems posted around on the internet for everyone else to see.
It's not about trusting you with their problems. They may simply not want to tell you and that is that.
Focus on the people that DO want your help. You will still get the recognition you deserve for your good advice, no matter who you help. :)

Well, you can't really make your friends visit your advice column if they don't want to. They might not feel comfortable with their problems spread on the internet for others to read, or they just might not be comfortable with it. They might not even have any problems going on in their life at the moment. Just don't mention the advice site, and if you really want to help them with advice and stuff, just let them know you're there for them and see if they come to you. Who knows? If they used a code name or something, they might have even already visited it, you just don't know cause they didn't want you knowing what problem they were. I hope I helped. <3

Well your friends may not have that many problems, i mean everyone has problems.
BUT theyy may not want it posted online somewhere so someone else can read it. Even if it is annonoymous,, and maybe they just arent comfortable with it. Dont force them to come, and remember dont get a big head, wiht the "I'm really good.." because maybe your advice isnt the best for them. Just let them know you are there, and they an come to your colulmn or ask you in person. And thats the best you can do.

The truth is, you can't make your friends ask for advice, if they dont need or want it. Focus on the questions here on advicenators. These people dont have to be your friends for you to still get the satisfaction of helping someone out! Just let your friends know that you are there for them if they ever need any help, and let them come to you.
