I'm also the type of person who gives out a lot of advice. People ask me what I think about their situations and they usually find what I say helpful.
When it comes to myself though, I have difficulty seeing what my problems are, or even that I have a problem in the first place. I think I'm just too "close" to my own issues to see them clearly. When I try to step away from myself and look in from the outside, that usually helps, but still I don't often end up taking my own advice unless I write it all down in my to do list as next actions, which isn't always possible depending on the advice.
