Am I a phoney?


Question Posted Tuesday July 8 2008, 2:12 am

I tend to give quite a lot of advice on this site, but I often find myself skimming the questions, and if there's one that I've had a question about, I read the answers.
So yeah, is it weird that even though I answer a lot of questions, I still have my own about some things?
Shouldn't the advice givers know most of the things they are answering about?
Sometimes I find myself looking up more information about a topic when answering a question...

Thank you.

Trust me, you're not alone. I often find myself getting advice I would have never dreamed I would find. Just because you're an advice giver doesn't mean you have to know everything. No one does, and if they claim to, well then they're lying.

It's kind of like, just because you may be the smartest kid in the class, it doesn't mean there won't be something along the line that confuses you or makes you ask questions. And that's okay! It's completely normal!

Keep on giving good advice and if you ever need advice, don't feel afraid to look- it's not like anyone will know anyway ;]

Just telling someone not to give up is advice. Researching the internet to find an answer to give is even better advice. Your going such a wonderful thing no matter how you do it because your answer impacts the person your telling. They will take any answer you give whether you thought of it or found it and look at it the same. We all search for answers at times when we feel the need to help another. Your doing a wonderful thing just being on here. Thanks and good luck :)

this isnt phoney. its just called wanting to help, but not being sure where to begin or what to say. everyone on here has to admit they do that sometimes. or sometimes they dont know how to say something in a nice way, so they find the highest rated answer and give it their own personal touch to it. like a smiley, or extra words here and there, plus a little advice of their own. or some people just do it so they'll have a lot of rating points. ^.^

whatever the reason, its no biggie. your just trying to do your job, and we all thank you.

take care. :)
