Can you please suggest me what to do?!

Can you please suggest me what to do?

I am very innocent person...although i am good at studies and stuff....but when it comes to dealing with people....i am not all that smart and most of the time i find that people have come to a position where they try to lead me....i know i am smarter than them but i still take their advice on issues i think i am not good at.....and do as they say....is it because i do not confidence in myself or i perceive them to have more experience in life. How do i change my attitude i do not like the feel of being dependent on people to tell me.... what they think of me and what i should do...and yet i ask and depend on people all the time.

The best thing to say to these people is, "Oh, how interesting.....or Oh, I never thought of it in that way." And then finish this by saying, "I will have to think about what you suggested." And then end it with that. This way the person giving the advice thinks that you have complimented them and not insulted them. They have the feeling like they really showed you the best way. You then have the option to act on what they said right away if you believe in your heart and mind that it is the right thing .....or by leaving it open-ended by telling them you have to think about it, they won't push you to act right away. I had the same problem you did and just by experience found that this solution worked best for me. It doesn't hurt anyone's feelings and I can act on my own judgement of what is best. Just say, "I will have to think about your suggestion."
