Do you appreciated unsolicited advice?

If you didn't ask for someone's advice, but they give it to you anyway, how do you react?

Depends on the topic and who's giving it, really. If it's a close friend, I'll take it into consideration, no matter what, but if it's a random stranger from the internet, I'm more likely to ignore it, especially if it's a topic they wouldn't have all the information about, like relationship advice.

Depends who they are. Advice from friends, whether I asked for it or not, doesn't bother me. I appreciate it. Advice from people I don't really know is a bit weird. It doesn't annoy me, unless they're really persistent, bitchy or controlling. But it is weird.
Im learning to stop being so defensive and listen.
The thing is listening to the right people can be confusing who to trust.
To open up or not to open up.
To grow and change or to sit and die alone

Respectfully they may be doing you a massive favour.

@Supesun My friend probably doesn't always appreciate my relationship tips, especially considering I've never been in one myself, but it doesn't take an expert to tell him he needs to communicate better. 😒

There you go then. Your advice was good and well intended. If he gets bent out of shape because of it then hey ho he can jog on. Don’t bother giving him any more advice. @SW-User

You're young so receiving some advice is not that bad, but unsolicited advice is often annoying...
Depends on my mood, but I try to see the intent behind the words. They mean well.

You should probably start listening to them.
