i cannot stress this enough my hatred for this is so passionate because unsolicited advice genuinely makes me want to drive into a wall!!!! also may or may not be directed at old people who are more susceptible to this!!!! this doesn't benefit the receiver at all!!! i hate it when people can just assume that they give advice right off the bat — hello??? like time and place??? nuance??? the actual need/urgency/the act of actively seeking out for advice??? people who give unsolicited advice honestly just have the intention to insult a person in the most passive-aggressive way.... the existence of unsolicited advice genuinely MAKES SO MAD BECAUSE IT DARES TO TRY TO TAKE SAME SPACE AS THE SINCERE ACTS OF SEEKING COUNSEL AND RECEIVING WELL-MEANING ADVICE... 😭😭 it is the bane of our existence and the sharing of knowledge is something so sacred and beautiful... not whatever this shit is....
