Unsolicited advice


I have a neighbor who gives unsolicited advice any time I share with her something that’s happening in my life or my family’s life. I’m ruminating in negative thoughts about her and would like to develop a thought that is more accepting. I’ve come up with “adults can behave however they want” but this thought doesn’t seem to cut it for me. I suppose I’m looking for a thought I could believe not just for this neighbor but anytime this happens as humans do tend to want to help and tell people what they “should” do. Right now I pull away and avoid people who do this but I’d like to be more open and accepting.
