The times in my opinion that it is wise for a friend to give advice when they and you both know that you are getting yourself into a big mess. Like when they legitimately know that you need help then by all means they can help you with anything in the world. The times I think that friends should just listen is when they do not know anything about the situation you are going through or what has happened. It drives me insane when a friend will not listen to you AT ALL but expect you to listen and be there for them through everything. In reality sometimes all you need is for someone to listen too. Not to make judgments or make you feel so low.
It helps a lot when you really need someone and they are just there to listen to you and let you spill your thoughts and your heart. Some friends need to learn how to do that. Pretending to listen just does not cut it what so ever. Because when tragedy hits you, you need someone. When a friend tries to give you advice about something they have never gone through is just plain ridiculous to me. No one should have a say in what you should do if they have never experienced it.
