Ultimately, yes, we're responsible for ourselves and for taking action to do what we need to help ourselves.  There's nothing about listening to anyone's advice that means we have to follow it.  While we all experience our own things, sometimes there is wisdom in the advice of someone who has gone through something similar.  Listening to your intuition can be a part of who to listen to, or even what part to listen to or not.  That's important in finding out what works for you or not.  There is always distance between what people say (they are just words, after all) and your own thoughts and feelings; just give yourself that space, remember you have that ability.

yeah for sure  it took me a while to be able to trust myself in fact I am shocked realizing that I actually trust myself now,  because I used to not trust myself for a very long time  it feels natural now,  but I just remembered that this is new for me  when I was younger I gave up my opinion and Inner knowing to be led by other peoples' opinions and it made me much much sicker instead of alleviating any of my problems

th fact that I trust myself now is honestly a miracle  I had like zero self trust in the past

I do not believe in disempowering yourself by giving the responsibility to someone else the best teachers teach you to learn to trust yourself about what is right for you and your life path above trusting anyone else  intuition should always come first

While we are ultimately responsible for our own outcomes, there is a lot of wisdom to glean from those who've had similar experiences. 

People are not too different from one another overall beyond immediate context, kind of like The Blanket. 

when I used to not trust my intuition I surrounded myself with people all of who claimed to be "saviors" of some type or another and pretty much nothing that they did or told me did anything to help get me out of the situation that I was in  only by trusting my intuition first have I actually connected with people who are finally giving me helpful advice

Saviors are deluded. 

The real practitioners wouldn't likely go that egoist.

You used to trust yourself too much during certain episodes, even making proclamations about how you've never been wrong in your life. 

I think this is more black and white thinking, the healthy range is to kinda trust yourself with room to doubt enough to keep an open mind.
