How to ignore advice/criticism?

edited January 13 in Chit-Chat
I made a deal with a genie three hundred and fifty years ago that I could live forever, as long as I do whatever I'm told, by anyone.

It really sucks when people give me unwanted advice at the gym or on MFP.

I WISH I COULD JUST IGNORE PEOPLE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!! You other folks who can just ignore unwanted advice, you don't know how lucky you are.

Never take that for granted.

    but you get the last laugh when those people with stupid advice are gone, and your still around. Well played.

    I think I'd rather just die.

    grow your hair, cut your hair
    wear flats, wear heels
    eat cake, don't eat cake

    I'd be tossed to and fro like the waves of the sea.
    I'd find that genie and kick his *kitten* for granting you that lame assed wish. ;)

    Do 100 pushups

    Eat an entire horse.

    Punch 1CG in the stomach.

    Can I advise you to stop listening to bad advice? You have to do what I say, right?

    It's a proven fact you can only ignore them after calling them meanie haters & blaming them for ruining your life.

    You got screwed over by a genie. Who wants an eternity of having to take people's advice?

    Wear a hoodie in your profile picture. That should solve the problem.

    Read the book "The Four Agreements" by Miguel Ruiz. For some it has provided options on how to respond to advice/criticism
