Unsolicited advice can be quite nice

r/

I rarely give any advice, especially when it hasn’t been requested because I find it difficult to judge whether it’ll be received well.
But I’ve come to realise that I quite often enjoy receiving advice that I haven’t asked for.
There are of course limits, e.g. when it clearly comes from a bad place or shows a complete lack of understanding but generally I’ll at least be entertained by it.
Anyone else enjoy some unsolicited advice or is it just me?

    Your writing is clear, natural, and easy to read. The tone is friendly and conversational, which works well for a post like this. That said, here are a few minor tweaks for clarity, flow, and punctuation:

    I rarely give any advice, especially when it hasn’t been requested, because I find it difficult to judge whether it’ll be received well.

    But I’ve come to realise that I quite often enjoy receiving advice I haven’t asked for.

    There are, of course, limits — for example, when it clearly comes from a bad place or shows a complete lack of understanding — but generally, I’ll at least be entertained by it.

    Changes made:

    •   Added a comma after requested for clarity.
    
    •   Streamlined “advice that I haven’t asked for” to “advice I haven’t asked for” for smoother rhythm.
    
    •   Inserted commas and an em dash in the third sentence to improve pacing and clarity.
    
    •   Added a comma before or is it just me? to better reflect the natural pause in speech.

    Hope that helps.
