because not everything that sounds smart is sane.
Dear Authentic Introvert,
Have you ever come up with a great idea, explained it to your family and asked, “So, what do you think?”, even though nobody listening is equipped to answer this?
Family is your safe space so no harm in doing so regardless of their response.
But the problem begins when you start asking random people for feedback because no matter if it’s good or bad, it won’t be beneficial.
If you’re being stupid, getting the advice to ‘go for it’ can be disastrous.
Similarly, your brilliant ideas could be shot down by a bunch of rudimentary experts.
The key is to filter out advice and take it only from people who have been where you are and done what you intend to do.
Like a wise person aptly said:
“Avoid constructive feedback from people who’ve never constructed anything.”
What’s one piece of advice that has been pivotal in your journey so far?
