You ask what is an Askhole?
Have you ever encountered that person who asks you for advice but ends up doing the exact opposite? Well, that person is an askhole. Don’t worry; it happens to everyone. Some people thrive on getting advice but never following through with it, which can be overwhelming for the person giving the advice. It’s okay to establish boundaries and limit advice giving. Remember that your time and energy are valuable. It’s not your responsibility to solve someone else’s problems, but it doesn’t hurt to give advice.

Am I an Askhole?
On another note, don’t be so hard on yourself if you think you may be an askhole. It happens sometimes, and it’s good that you recognize it. It’s time to reflect on why you seek advice and struggle to follow through with it. Understanding yourself better may lead to relationships that are mutually beneficial. Seeking advice is not a bad thing, and it’s okay if you do not take all of it, just be open and honest.

How do I stop being an Askhole?
Here are a few tips to help you stop being an Askhole.

  1. Be specific: When asking for advice, be clear and specific about the issue you need help with. This will show others that you have put thought into the problem and are serious about finding a solution.
  2. Take action: Once you have received advice, take action on it. This will show the person giving the advice that you value their input and are willing to put it into practice.
  3. Learn from your mistakes: If you find yourself asking the same question repeatedly, take a step back and ask yourself why. Are you not taking action on the advice given? Are you not applying the advice in the right way? Learn from your mistakes and try to improve.

In the end, the key to stopping being an Askhole is to show appreciation for the advice given and to take responsibility for applying it.
