I feel when he gives me advice I should go with the exact opposite advice of what he gives. Every single time. God is he horrible at advice. I can give examples of when I do listen and his advice backfires. Or now that I never listen. And thank the lord I don’t listen to him anymore…. Lmfao is he serious with some of that advice. I feel he does it on purpose just to F with me. Or maybe his insight is truly that poor. Anyone else have friends like this???

My brother in law is clueless about life and I find it sad. He’s never lived on his own but feels it’s ok to tell people what to do about their homes and cars and lives. He’s always wrong.

My best friend since I was fourteen is like this.
I can’t trust any of her advice.
Our relationship is mostly me giving her advice and her not taking it.
She’s a doctor and I can’t even trust her medical advice.
When I had kidney stones she told me to drink (as much as I could, but at least a six pack) beer with hops.
I mean, that may work, but seriously?
You don’t go to the doctor and they tell you to drink as much beer as you can.
In those kinds of relationships you have to accept them as they are and appreciate the person’s other attributes.
And of course, know better than to take their advice.

My friend is a total dependent. Although works and lives by himself. Doesn’t pay any rent but acts like he does Idk not very humble about money matters or anything. Spends all his money every month without the goal of ever paying his necessities.
I rely on my parents too but cmon. I have greater goals and try and be humble.
He does Have sza diagnosis and is on clozapine abilify and a few other meds. His job is he’s a kinda “case manager”. His job is partly to give advice. He’s good to me. But at this point I just don’t want his advice. Or maybe it shows me what NOT to do. Maybe it’s good I get his advice for reverse insight.

I’m typically the friend who gives advice. I have a close friend who is super intelligent but he makes terrible life decisions. He’s currently recovering from crack addiction.

You might be on to something here. I actually found this statement to be humorous. In all seriousness, your friend is sick and has low self esteem. He can’t help himself, because he lacks insight in social situations. I’d just ignore his advice.
