Dr. Joshua Jayden Aries; Advice Counselor

[JoshAries]

Alright people gather around. Ive decided to evolve my old thread into something new. Doesnt mean the old one is closed, Im just bored with how slow it is, so humor me. It tickles me a little that alot of my RL friends ask me for advice in life, love and various other things... so I thought it might be interesting to try it out here.

You have a situation that you want advice for? Ask me. I'll give you an idea on what I think is the correct thing to do in your situation. Just so you know Im not a registered shrink or anything, so be rational and do what you feel is right, even if the situation you are encountering is very irrational, so be warned.

I want to keep things clean. Feel free to ask me for relationship advice and the like, but sexual things should be left off the public channels. If you need to talk, feel free to send a PM to me and I'll be happy to talk to you about it.

Oh, and Mod's, if this thread becomes a bit much, feel free to close it if necessary.

So lets begin shall we?

Well a piece of advice for you... if you wanna do this right then NEVER EVER EVER tell people what to do, never give them options of what they can do... If anyone has ever taken a psychology course they will know what I mean...

You have to formulate your questions and words in such a way that the person comes to a conclusion on their own...


ANYWAYS ... I have a problem, but I won't ask you. :D

[JoshAries]

Well, thats the problem eh? I already stated that I havent taken said class. But hey... we can make this hypothetical too you know. The only thing Im really restricting is sex advice. So honestly I dont see why you even bothered posting.

[Dream Catcher]

Because I felt like letting you know that what you are doing ain't exactly... umm... healthy for others?

[Katzyn]

It's a forum, DC. People should be able to post their questions, hypothetical or real, or not. What they do with the advice is their own business, as he said.

[Dream Catcher]

Yeah, and I'm posting my opinion... or can I not do that ??

[JoshAries]

Oh, no, you can. Its just I dont see why you feel the need to deviate from the topic at hand. Its not like legal councel. Im not telling anyone to commit suicide or anything. Im just willing to tell people what I would do in their shoes. I dont see how my opinion would differ from what would happen if they asked any of their friends. Its not unhealthy, its just getting an unbaised opinion.
