I think the same thing goes for making mistakes, too.
We all seem to have the need to make our own mistakes instead of listening to others (parents included) who warn us.
Everything is worth more if we earn it. That which we get for free we esteem too lightly.
Healthy people may request & appreciate the thoughts & suggestions of others, BUT they DO NOT want to be told what to do.
