Ever wanted to inform someone and help them but stopped because they would probably see your help and advice as an insult?

Yes. Now I refuse to interject my thoughts or help.

No.

Yeah absolutely. I worried that my help would make them react and reinforce the negative behavior

Often.😞

Yes.

No. Usually all I’ve had to do is consider how I would feel, receiving such “advice”, if unsolicited. It was generally pretty clear.

Sure. Just let them crash and burn first, it's a far better teacher
