why do people only hear what they think they want to hear? Why ask for advice if you are NOT going to listen?

Some people ask for advice just to validate how they already feel. If you disagree with them they say it's bad advice. But if you agree you're really smart and they feel better.

Some people don't ask for advice, they ask for reassurement that they're doing the right thing (in their opinion, obviously.) They really don't want to hear new advice- just "Yes, you're doing great, go on ahead!"
