text: Now if an individual goes to an honest person and asks them for advice, they will most likely hear a very detailed version of what that person thinks of the situation. It is always good to ask someone nice about what they think of a situation, but it is also good to ask someone who will give you the honest truth. When asking this person about their opinion, they will tell you their honest opinion, regardless of what you want to hear, which could end up with a persons feelings getting hurt. Going to this person may be beneficial, but that person may need to be prepared for some constructive criticism. If an individual cannot receive constructive criticism without breaking down and crying, or taking the advice to emotionally, then it would be best to not ask that person for advice. Although it may be tough to hear what they are telling you, it will most likely be the best advice someone can give you.
