Oh My Spirit of Life, we are a living, breathing comments section, aren't we?
Thank you for articulating this -- you are helping me to "celebrate, not player hate" and maybe even let go of the unsolicited advice I get from my fellow laypeople.
I recently received unsolicited advice from a friend who implied that I was not being active enough in urgent social issues and she shared this criticism with a sweet and smiling face. I left that conversation in cognitive dissonance, like "what just happened?"
And, I can remember imposing my own recent "helpful suggestion" aka unsolicited advice to a loved one because I thought if I asked if he wanted my opinion he would have said "no" and there I would be with all these great ideas and nowhere to put them ;-)
This is an excellent example of Do unto others... thanks for the opportunity to remember
I'd say everybody everywhere gets it, just on different axes. In my job there's just enough information to be dangerous on the internet and people demand explanations of why my expertise trumps their misinterpretation all the time. I am not a parent, have not been chronically ill or dealt with any of the other non-occupational reasons people get advised but I hear awful things about that generally.

That quote made me laugh out loud!

Yes, indeed. Thank you.
Thank you.
So much this.
Beautifully said. Thank you!
