The truth of the matter is that it will ALWAYS be easier to tell someone what they should be doing and how than it is to actually be the person going through it.

For example, it's all very well telling someone who is overweight to go for a walk instead of eating that chocolate cake but have you ever tried it!? It's really hard! In a more extreme way, it's easy to tell an alcoholic to go to an AA meeting and come up with a plan to get themselves off the sauce but it's so much easier than being the person who has to quite the addiction.

Anything that people are likely to ask advice on is something that is usually going to be difficult to carry out. The reason they ask for the advice is because there is no way forward they can see that is easy for them. Unfortunately, it's the nature of life. But don't worry, it might never be easy to help yourself but you will learn to become better at it.

hunny, it's not that easy ot help youtself. believe me from experience. it's easier for you t6o get into other ppl's heads, but not your won. it's normal for girls. just go with it. go to your friends for help. if they're true friends then they'll help you get through what you're goign through.

Have you ever heard the quote,"It's easier said, then done?" I always ask myself the same thing, but can never seem to do what I tell the other people to do. It's because I already know who I am ; and I know I'm not able to do that, but these people are strangers, they might have the guts to do it, they might not so I think it's just easier to give them advice on everything.

I hope I helped.

I ask myself that question a lot. I answer a lot of people's questions but I have so many of the exact same issuses that I can't fix.

I think that it is easier to tell someone to do something than to do it yourself.
