I still struggle with the concept that sometimes people complain just to complain and not because they want advice. I have to check my impulse to be helpful and logical.
The only advice I give is in the subjects I am learned in. If you look at my profile picture, that's in balloon art. Nothing political about that. (I'm also a peer support specialist, but I'm not an expert in that field. It just let's me help others through tough times.)
Size of you especially since I hardly ever post anything on IG. Don't think I put a single photo up this year. I got injured last Thanksgiving and I still haven't recovered. It's hard to ever look pretty these days
You have so many good posts I'm glad I get to see them more here on bsky. As for my advice: lol I'd take a million pieces of advice from before I'd give you one.

When I feel the urge to advise, I ask the person, "would you like some advice, or would you prefer I just listen?"
Use it all the time, and often they actually ask for advice. Consent matters!
