The Life Coach: The person who posts advice & pictures all day long YET their portfolio does not seem to be reflective of any of the advice they support. Perhaps they should apply it first, see if it works & then share it with the world. Otherwise, they are simply misleading their Facebook friends with unconfirmed data. Stop contributing to dumbing down the world. It’s okay to share a ‘common’ life experience but that doesn’t mean you understand the ‘complete concept’
The Consummate Consultant: This is the person who knows everything about everything YET has nothing to show for it. They know it all from how to do your taxes to how to keep a man!  They tell you how to run your business, your political campaign and your household yet like in reason number one, their advice doesn’t seem to play out in their own life. Know your position, perfect it and stick to it!
Your Ratchet Friend: Everybody has a friend that has ‘BOUT THAT LIFE’ or whatever ‘LIFE THEY ARE ABOUT’ in the middle of his or her Facebook name. Although, we are entertained with their weekly shenanigans, this may not be the best person you listen to about how to live a productive life when clearly so many unproductive things occupy their life.
Your ‘ON THE DOWNLOW’ Home Boy: When receiving relationship advice, consider the source, he may just be trying to convert ya!
Every move you make, you run it by Yo Mama: Although, we appreciate the love you have for Mom, it may be best if she finds something to do other than those who DO YOU! Recommend she join a Voters League, Bingo Wednesdays or Saved, Single & Sanctified Saturdays at the Church!
Your broke homeboy: No need to BREAK this one down, because the title alone BREAKS it down…he is BROKE…so when he offers advice make a BREAK from his BROKE tail!
Married VS Single Coach’s: I was married for a long time and now that I am divorced; I don’t go around telling ‘married’ people what to do, WHEN I AM ASKED for my opinion, I only speak about my own personal experiences and I always reiterate that each woman, each man & every couple must walk their own path! Most single or married people are not honest about what they ‘put up with’ anyway so make sure you are speaking to someone who is honest. If you are miserable with your married or single status, then it may be helpful to hear another perspective (either married or single) but always consider the source. If you are unhappily married or single and desperate willing to do anything to land a mate then you may not be the best person to give advice to both married AND OR single people.  Perhaps you should just STHU period.
The Hater: This person is negative about EVERYTHING, all day, every day! If I say it is a nice day outside, they will say ‘well it was better yesterday’ they don’t see SUNSHINE in anything, any day EVER! Beware of ‘The Hater’ because their ugly sister ‘Drama Diva’ is lurking in the shadows just waiting on the right moment to appear.
The Religion Fanatic: I love the Lord and he heard my cry BUT although I appreciate your answer to everything being a scripture, it is helpful to apply wisdom, understanding and knowledge to the scripture as well. In addition, one must apply faith WITH works not just leaning on the everlasting scriptures as ‘magic’ instead of taking responsibility for your own life.
And finally ME, Tezlyn Figaro: Take everything I said with a grain of salt, like everything else that I said do what works for YOU, not someone else.  I am not saying that I am right or wrong. However, I do urge you to always learn about the Author. Remember, the entire post is about considering the source. With that said, read my bio and portfolio at www.tezlynfigaro.com otherwise you have not learned anything that I just took the time to reveal to you.
