How do you handle people who constantly give you unsolicited advice?

you can't possibly tell them something about your life without getting a judgment call from them. they're there not just to listen, but to automatically question your decisions and give you advice you've already thought of but scratched from your to-do list. you never ask them for anything but they always poke their noses into your business. even when you're not talking to them, they butt in to give their 2 cents worth which no one really asked for. how do you handle people like this?How do you handle people who constantly give you unsolicited advice?
I tend to have the same problem of giving unsolicited advice to my sister, but I've learned to stop myself when she says she doesn't need it. It's best if you just say, ';I appreciate your advice, but it's not really needed or wanted.'; Tell them you don't need/want their advice (politely, of course).How do you handle people who constantly give you unsolicited advice?
Well, it depends on why they are commenting....many things are touchy subjects and if someone seems to think you are going down the wrong path, most will say something. If I saw a teen trying to steal something, it may not be my business but I would try and talk them out of it. If I were say out in public and had to spank my son (I always do this as a last resort) but let's just say someone said something...I would say ';and you can raise your kids the way you see fit, but I will not have my son misbehave without consequences'; More than likely the ones who comment are those who never punish their kids and they are brats that hit, kick and steal etc.
Just nod vaguely and say, ';Well, thanks for your opinion.'; It tells them that: a) you're not really interested in their opinion; b) you're probably not going to follow their advice; and c) it's just THEIR opinion. You've heard them out, and you've been polite, but dismissive.
I do my best if I can to avoid and not be friends with them but if they always have to criticize I give them the same back and usually they get a shock and have an epiphany and stop giving me advice unless I ask
Damn you know my Mother-in-Law too?





What I do if just let it go in one ear and out the other. If what they have said is of little value I just let them speak so they think they were heard, and go on about my way.
when you talk to them, only talk about them. they'll be thrilled and you don't have to get any advice.
Well, I would either just accept their advice politely (and then discard it later) or politely tell them that I'm handling things just fine and don't need their help.
I have to handle 2 people that do this to the extreme next week on thanksgiving. My coping method? Get them drunk and hardly talk.
Ignore them. They'll get the message. If they dont, tell them to mind their own business.
Most of the time I just politely ignore them. If it's really bad, I have said something before about not needing any help raising my kids.
I do one of two things:





A- I don't talk to them about my life anymore





B- I ignore it
