I wrote a long post draft, but then saved it in an email to myself and decided to instead open a conversation without the specific details of what irked me recently when people gave me trivial, unsolicited advice, as if I were a complete idiot and hadn't thought about doing something trivial but needed external wisdom to reveal to me what course of action I might take.
What do you do in such cases? I am especially interested in how I might prevent and preempt, rather than react, to unsolicited advice, and especially trivial advice.

Just ignore it. You cannot prevent unsolicited advice. It’s just inevitable you’ll run into that. As about trivial, people don’t always know that their advice is trivial. They might think they share profound wisdom. Is it always the same person or multiple people?

One time my nephew told me i had a big butt, and replied, "Thank you for sharingcthat with me!" I miss the 80's!
You need to be exposed to more outright harmful advice. Like the stuff my parents forced upon me. That had consequences? Then trivial wont bother you as much? Another is, people are really morons these days, and the atmosphere is such that they are not afraid to show it. So its not you, its definitely them. "Let it go." |
