This post got me thinking. It can be annoying when people assume that they can do, ask, tell, or suggest something personal to you when they haven't earned the right to do so. It happens to me sometimes. Scratch that. It happens to me a lot.
So how do I deal? Well, I've learned that being rude is not the answer.
No matter how off-putting, annoying, vexing, or unsolicited the advice/suggestion/life-change idea may be, I just remind myself that they mean well. My god do they mean well.
Grin and bear it. Oh, and don't be one of those people that makes a dramatic, ambiguous post on facebook book about it. Tweet it, duh.
