Don't even think of trying to tell me what to do

There are always those who think they own the air you breath..the can go suck a lemon.

Yes you are so right people need to focus on themselves and stop telling others what to do...

Unless it's helpful advice, I don't like being told what to do or not to do either.

The only thing I'd tell you "what to do" is music recommendations...and then they are just that, recommendations.

Well said! If there is something I hate is to hear people telling me what I have to do. I do not even care about "helpful advice", I am 66, I have no health problems, I feel well, I still can do most of the things I did when I was 40. This means I did not do everything wrong during my life.

It's always easier to point the finger at others and call out their faults, than it is to point the finger at ourselves and call out our own faults. It's just human nature. So good thing you don't listen to them! Keep living your life how you want it; we only get one shot at life, and so we might as well enjoy the ride as much as we can!

Why should you leave a site you enjoy and how is it taking away from people who need the money? Surely, if you're making good contributions, that helps everyone. Also, that would be like telling someone with a lot of money that they don't need their job and should let a poor person have it. Apart from that, Bubblews was hardly a site on which to make a living. Anyway, advice is one thing but people telling you what to do, that's different. My other half tells me what to do because I tell him to! He's much more sensible and disciplined than I am, and I respect him. Random people telling me something, or, I find, the worst is sometimes people giving unsolicited advice that you should do things that you've already done, are common sense, or you would have done if you could have done. After 3 years of Slimming World and losing 6 stone in the first half of that, I still get people suggesting things I should or shouldn't eat. Well, after keeping it off, I'm pretty sure I've got this and don't need your sugar-filled protein shake or broccoli smoothies!

If more people would worry about themselves and not care what others do that isn't harming anything, we would all get along much better and be happier. Too many people want to control and watch others fail because they are miserable within their own life.

My roomie is type of person who is always giving advice when unsolicted, always thinks he knows best etc. He thinks he is an authority on everything. Just another one of his charming qualities...not!

I simply laugh at those kinds of people, they seem to suffer from a superiority complex which only proves they are inferior.

Keep doing what you want. It is fine. I do what I want.

You really shouldn't be telling me not to tell you what to do, as I know everything, and I know what's best for you and everybody else. If only the world would just listen to me everything would be fine, everyone would live to be over 100, there would be no wars or arguments. Argggh. Yes, I'm just kidding around. But don't we all know people like that? And, in truth, aren't most of us a little bit like that once in a while?

it drives me nuts too ... when people start saying ohhh you shouldn't do this.. or eat this , that or the other..blah .. blah... blahhh ... like you...I'll do want I want and pay the consequences... if there are any...

Agree with this so much. Everyone is so worried about others lives, when they themselves dont live "right". I just ignore it now.

Same here. People keep telling me I should walk and exercise and eat better. BS!! I did that all my life(well, off and on at least) but now I eat what I want when I want. The doctor is never happy with me but, hey, it is my life. I am one that won't tell others what to do. I may give them info that I have derived in my life. They can take the advice or not.

Someone thought you should leave Bubblews because you didn't need the money? That is hysterical.

Everybody has their own choices. There is no need to impose upon others. If you are fine and comfort with your choices then keep going.

You go girl. My thoughts exactly @AbbyGreenhill . As they say in the South, "Those people can kiss my grits."

People are always telling me what to do, that I should sell out my business, that I should cut my hair or not dye it. I often get told I should not keep the money I make and give it to people who need it, since I am supposed to be rich, If I were rich I would not work! I stopped giving advice because no one listens anyhow. I don`t smoke or drink, I hate the cell phone too. Brush your teeth and drive? I am over 50 years old and I hear what people say but I live like I want to live.

Guess the vegan people would have a hard time try convincing you. (I got lectured many times now, they made me feel so guilty for dare eating meat cruelly, but I swear, I hardly eat meat...).
