Stranger Ask Me For Advice

My experiences in life thought me a lot, from personal growth and even in relationships. It made me wiser and has broader perceptions in life towards different situations.

Some of my friends always come to me to seek advice whenever they need it or some enlightenment. I am the type of person who listens and does not judge anyone as I always weigh the situation first before saying something.

A stranger ask for advice

Recently, I've been opening my Facebook account and checking posts from time to time. The reason behind being active on Facebook again is to gather more information that can help me with my Freelancing journey.

I also read a post from the pages I followed that is about sharing their life situation or experiences. Whenever the post is very enticing, I leave some comments to share my two cents.

Then, out of the blue, a stranger DM me for some advice. I was laughing because I was thinking “Why not be a love guru and charge them for a consultation?” haha! I was just kidding, I still have a lot to learn and eat before I reach the guru level in terms of wisdom.

She found me through my comments on a certain page that post about money management, relationship, etc. The page was called PESO SENSE, I don't know if some of my fellow Filipino here already heard that page. Maybe the lady finds my comments relevant or has some weight or impact on her that urge her to asked advice from me.

Whenever someone wants advice from me, I urge them to share their story first. Then I assess their stories before I gave them advice or enlightenment. I love listening to people's stories and I don't judge them for it. I just listen and if it's time to air my opinion or advice, I do it without being biased.

I am always a frank person, I don't like beating around the bush. If my opinion may hit the button, I don't mind if it's offensive as long as I stated the fact based on their stories. That's why some of my friends don't ask me for advice if they know by themselves they are doing stupid things as I prefer to tell them the truth than console them with lies.

Back to the stranger asking me for advice after telling her story, I advised her in a way that can enlighten her on what she would do. I won't tell her story here in detail as I matter other people's privacy. The screenshot above is the ending of our conversation.

What I like about her is that she's a Godly woman who seeks God's sign first before doing anything. I admire her, although I am different from her.. before I found the right guy for me, I did pray to God back then that He should give me the right man for me.

I know we have different beliefs here, but if you believe in God always include in your prayers about having the right partner for you. Of course, be the right woman or man as well so you also deserve to have a good husband or wife. Always remember you attract what you practice for.

What's the catch of sharing this? Well, I just find it amazing that a stranger approaches me over something that might influence their decisions in life. I always like this kind of set-up too, as I am also a believer in “It's better to talk with strangers than someone you know, as it has less judgment. Only pure empathy and compassion.”

It's always a stranger that gives pure courage and support just like what we do in this blogging world.
