i don't offer advice (except to my young children) unless i'm specifically asked for it. even then, there's always a clause about how it's ultimately their decision and that i don't want to sway their mind.

if advice is given to me when i've not asked for it, i usually either just ignore it - sometimes in a pleasant fashion, sometimes not so pleasant.

I don't feel that there is anything wrong with offering advice to someone who is going through a situation that I have gone through. I will share my experience and how it ended up and then it is up to them to decide how that works for them. I never would expect someone to do the same thing that I did.

I also appreciate advice being given to me. Sometimes it can open up a whole new way of looking at the situation and offer options I would not have thought of doing. Ultimately the decision is mine.

I think there is a difference between offering advice and trying to control what someone does.

I tend to just run my mouth no matter what so, yeah, there is probably some advise hidden in all my babbling somewhere.

It is very difficult to live among people you love and hold back from offering them advice. The big trick to this is to NOT get upset when they decide to live their own life and do what they choose.

I don't give advice unless it is asked for. Whether they take it or not, I don't care. I am no expert.

I never give advice unless asked for it and if Im in a possition to give it.I tend to be rude to people who give me unwanted advice and suggestions because if I want it Ill ask for it or look it up thankyou very much

I think the issue is that many people (not all, of course) offering advice that wasn't asked for get upset when their advice isn't taken. At least, that's what I've noticed.
