How do I reply to advices from people who care about me?
The common denominator seems to be me. When people who care about me give me advices, I often do one or multiple of the following:
- Simulate it in my head and conclude it wont work for me, then say it out loud "wont work because a"
- Think about the idea, then reshape it into one of my own (so a heavily altered version or alternative)
- consider that "maybe this advice is solid, but I want to properly study and research it before starting to act on it at all"
What I dont do:
- blindly follow advices (unless I really have to)
- be kind of dishonest like "thats a great idea it will help me" when my actual mind is "this wont work"
I'm autistic and very analytical and everything has to be logically whole and consistent for me, and I also am perfectionistic and afraid of doing things inefficiently so I always... always want to arrive at the most complete theory possible before starting any physical action.
This seems to hurt a lot of people.
How do I better respond to advices from loved ones if I don't want to blindly do things I have no understanding of?
