When Should We Give Advice?

When we care about people, we feel the urge to give them advice when they struggle. But sometimes we give advice when people don’t want it, which can make them feel like we don’t trust them to handle things on their own. They might just want us to listen and be present for them as they figure things out for themselves. If we do have important wisdom to share, we can always ask the people we care about if they would to like to hear our opinion. This way, we can respect their boundaries and make sure that, if we do give them advice, they will feel supported and loved.
