I have a friend who would always dismiss whatever I say when I talk about improvement techniques. Heck, this happens with some other people I know too.
Then later down the line, this same friend/person would suddenly tell me about the same improvement technique or thing I told them about weeks ago.
E. g.
Me: "I read that you gotta train so-and-so to get better at it."
Him: "Oh I am not interested in all these details, sounds troublesome."
*Weeks later*
Him: "I asked this guy and he said you gotta train in this manner to get better."
Me: (That's exactly what I told you weeks ago...)
Then it happens again and again and again...
No need to take it seriously lol… people need to realize that just because you give an advice does not
Mean someone is mandated to take it… he also wasn’t rude about it? People live and learn. We all have different periods when we realized certain things and then do it. I’m sure it’s annoying, but don’t take it personal. It’s building unnecessarily resentment.

Why do you guys call everyone friends? I think it's pretty sad and desperate and no they're not your friend
Again and again and again? Nah.. It would only ever happen twice to me. The first time would be a warning, and the second? Well that would be the last time I bothered with them again!
He doesn't respect your opinion. So you have to decide whether you want to continue being friends with someone who doesn't respect your opinion.

To be a hundred percent truthful man I have NO FUCKING IDEA. this happens to me literally all the time. I try to tell people things, almost always a warning not to do something or an advice on how to do something better. I get dismissed and then a few weeks or months down the road I hear back from them and it's the same god damn story every time. "I should have listened to you"
Like, ok, maybe the first few times I've told you something and you didn't listen because why should you trust me right? I'm just some guy. But then I'm repeatedly right about things over and over and every time you say you should have listened. Like, at a certain point it has to enter your head that maybe you don't make the best decisions and you should maybe start listening to the person who has been right almost every single time.
I don't get it man. I really don't. But just know that at least you're not aloneShe not s friend
