Advice versus demonstration
When you find yourself craving advice, beware. There is lots of advice out there, and when there is a lot of anything, that means most of it is bad.
Instead of going to the person closest to you in proximity for advice, pull back and envision the person who has demonstrated what to do or who to be in a situation similar to yours. Take your inspiration from here.
If they don’t have what you want, why want the advice they have?
