The reason you don&#x27;t give unsolicited advice is not because people don&#x27;t deserve it (points 1 &amp; 2 in the article) but because if they didn&#x27;t ask for it then they probably aren&#x27;t prepared to act on your advice; or they don&#x27;t view the subject of your advice as a problem; or they are already fully aware of your advice but a bigger issue is blocking them; or due to some other information that you don&#x27;t have so you don&#x27;t fully understand their problem and they resent your assumptions about their problem.
