Too often, I see people that ask for "advice", but in reality are looking for someone to validate what they have already decided to do, and anything to the contrary is just dismissed.

Everytime. I have thick skin, and like you mentioned the only way to truly grow is to learn from the truth and apply that to your life and changes you need to make.

You do a tremendous job providing thought-provoking content that inspires thought in your readers. It doesn't hurt that you have a good grasp of the way this world works, and the way people think.
