    I do all the don’ts every time and never thought of how it would have been portrayed on the other side. They all seem to be that right things to do in most situations. But looking at them in that perspective really shows that they can do more harm then good.
    I really don’t do a lot of the do’s- Listens closely and expectedly is not my strong suit- I have a bad habit of interrupting and putting my opinion and two cents in were it is not invited.
    I do ask questions in most situations but only with the intent to compare it to a similar situation and give advice from my own personal experience.
    I do reflectively think but not with he right motives. I tend to overthink and obsess over fixing their situation.

    I most often offer support. I think I go there because I think it will make the person like me. This is not really loving or meeting or knowing the person, but rather using the other for my own good feeling.

    I most often don’t listen closely and expectantly. I very often am thinking of what I need to say next, how to answer. I can listen and expect God’s good, and I have seen that happen more often, but I really have to work to still my self-centeredness.

    Don’t advise. When curiosity ends all too quickly, when I’m feeling like I need to move on with it to prove my own worth, then I jump into advisement. It’s really the easiest way to go.

    Do ask questions. Again. I stop asking questions. I stop relying on God so that I can get on with it. Prove my worth. Make it worth my while to my own feelings of inferiority and not being good enough. Questions can elongate the process and risk exposing my inadequacy and lack of perceived expertise.

    I tend seldomly to advise since I want to share things I recently learned. Also I don’t take much time to think and reflect intentionally, but from now on I will…

    Moving abroad in my late teens and needing to provide for myself there “demanded” that I remained wholy-reliant on my own resources and problem-solving. Hence, I must be watchful of the temptation to problem-solve for other people, to give advice and to try and fix their life for them.
