Do you feel worse when someone gives you advice you didn’t ask for?

Can I just fkn cry? Can I just feel my feelings without being given shit to feel insufficient about??

Was it advice they offered or criticism?
Because this is sounding like someone talked down to you and made you feel like lesser than you are. Advice should lift up, give you direction, empower you. Not cut you down.

@nonsensiclesnail I believe it’s genuine advice, people care in their own way. But it doesn’t lift me up as a single mom with a dead family to be told I need to do more and feel less. I don’t need advice. I need a hug. I need someone to listen. But it’s never gonna happen. We don’t live in a society that acknowledges feelings as important. I know to suck it up, and I will ffs but people underestimate you and just give you more tasks to improve what is already out of your control. I never asked for any of it.
@RebelFox I'm sorry. I don't know what you are going though since im not you, but thats a lot to deal with for you. a lot!! Life is hard enough without someone making you feel even more incapable. You're very capable. But we can only do and take so much. Im sorry they made you hurt.
