Don't you hate when you know people who try to tell you what you need to do when they don't know the situation you're in? In their eyes it's peechy keen, but in reality it's not as glamarous as it seems. Well I hate those types of people who think that they should give their advice like that. My only thing is, well if you think it's so great then YOU come experience it for yourself in my shoes. Then maybe you'll get an understanding and change your perspective. If not then that's your own danged problem, not mine. I'ma do what I wanna do and you gonna like it or not... Rant Over.

Walk a mile in your shoes, eh? I think that when a discussion is set up on here I will give my opinion and try to do it in such a way that it doesn't come off as looking down at you or anything like it. In reality I would probably ask if you were aware or whatever and if you said you were then I would back off. If I feel a friend is ranting I do try to give some good advice. I can certainly understand that a person such as yourself does not want someone elses opinion unless you act as if you need it.

This is in reality, not from online forums. I am talking about people I know telling me what they think I should do when they don't really know the whole story. They just think I have it good, but they don't really know. I've had several people do this to me, some have realized that I really don't have it as good as it seems, others haven't.

I would be straight with these people that think wrongly of your situation. You might treat them the way you would like to be treated under the same circumstances. I find you to be hard working and you seem to be trying to make it just like the rest of us. Happy Saturday to you!

This isn't even on mylot but IRL. I am not so much a person to tell them to mind their own, especially since I thrive on advice sometimes. I just ignore it and take it in stride for the most part. After all a lot of times people just don't know what they are talking about.

It sounds like people forget you are a grown up.

There are always people who are more than willing to give their opinions on what we should do in our lives. Of course, you know what they say about opinions... I've been in the position before of having people act like they could push me to do things just because I was in a tight spot at the time. If I would have done the things that they pressured me to do, I would have ended up in an even worse position and would never have been able to pull myself out of it. Some people are just a******s.

I know how you feel, sometimes though, especially when it comes to here (MyLot) you can't control peoples opinions and advice and most of the times they mean well when they comment. Now if it's someone in your personal life, tell them to take a flying leap off of the tallest object near you, or to fix the issue for you. Or at least that is what I do. I know in my adult social brain, that I am wrong for this but I once was having a VERY bad day and I had stubbed my toe, which was just enough to start me bawling like a little baby. Well this lady I knew on a first name basis told me stubbing your toe was nothing to cry over and to grow up, she not knowing how bad my day was. So I took a deep breath and stomped her foot, HARD. Then I proceeded to tell her if I needed her opinion or help I would have asked for it, and that her presence in the same STATE as me was unwanted, and then I told her to get ALL of the information before speaking or bad things happen like stomped on feet. She actually apologized to me and a few days later thanked me for reminding her that she doesn't always know everything, and that people don't always want to hear her talk. I apologized too and we are still friends.

It's in my real life. I'm not the type of person to drop someone like a ton of bricks unless they give me a REAL good reason to. I just ignore what they say as they don't know what it's like and that is that. As for what you did in your situation, I've thought of doing something similar when I've had a bad day more then I'd like to admit. I'm sure I've acted out on it before as well. It's great that you two are still friends though.
