Summary
Eventually, they cross a line and start offering unsolicited advice and opinions about you, your habits, and suggesting areas for improvement. Meddling!
Overview:
Some relatives and friends are full of unsolicited opinions on how to improve everything about you; after all, your thought process and your lifestyle need improvement.
Some guests and relatives have impeccable habits. They hold idealistic views about governance, politics, geopolitics, and how things are run in their households, as well as yours. They have a superior intellect, despite their limitedachievements in life. Educated intellectuals are the worst. They travel through the indoctrination sieve at universities, then they take the garbage out and spread it around the world, unabated. They have a superiority complex. It’s almost a rite of passage moment, during a visit, when unsolicited and unwarranted opinions start pouring in. This habit can be particularly challenging to address, and it’s often the less successful visitors who are most prone to trying to bring you down to their level.
When the visibility becomes more irritating than enjoyable, it’s important to remember that you have the power to set boundaries. Sometimes, the best response to unsolicited opinions is no response at all.
