Question: A friend of mine has terrible judgement. They’re always making the same predictable decisions, impulses, really, that always have the same miserable results. I often wonder if they’re even aware of their behaviours, even know the patterns they’ve established. How do you tell a friend like this that they have terrible judgement?
Answer:
Jane Michelle Wilson
Jane Michelle Wilson, who, over the course of her life has actually been a professional advice-giver. (As The Advice Lady in the National Post and Janereaction in The Toronto Star.) Nowadays she gives her advice – solicited or un – privately.
One terrible night in 1984 she asked a non-pregnant woman when her baby was due. The horror of that moment lives with her still and she has never forgotten it. She thinks some worries are useful lessons, but most are just crap.
