Why would you seek somebody’s advice if you’re not willing to take it? Sure, I get the idea of wanting to be validated, but you also have to accept being told what you’re doing is wrong.
I've stopped giving my father advice on computers or electronics because he has never yet followed any of it.
He gets really upset that I won't spend time researching things to give him advice to ignore, so presumably he gets something out of it but I'm not sure what.
