What has worked for me:
1. Paying attention to those who are my age or older and are where I want to be in a particular area of Life and have been through what I have.

Asking for their feedback in specificities in that particular area, not outside of it.
Is their feedback given with respect and empathy?
Yes, continue the process. Go to step 2.
No, ignore them or push back, whatever required. The interaction ends there for good. All respect is lost for them from my end.
2. Apply the Scientific Method as much as possible to their feedback.

Question their feedback constantly.

Do they get permanently offended?
No, continue the process. Go to step 3.
Yes, ignore. Emotional maturity matters.
3. Do their feedback stands by itself after testing and questioning?
Yes, go to step 4.
No. Ignore their feedback.

4. From their feedback take what works for me, adjust it to my specific circumstances.

Say thank you to the person.
5. 99.99999999999999999999% of the time, do not request advice from those who are not where I want to be and/or have not been through what I have.
100% Ignore their unsolicited advice.
If they have integrity, are respectful and have psychological and emotional maturity, connect with them in a different way.

If their chronological age does not match their psychological and emotional age: 100% pass.
