Lovely, wonderful beings, something we maybe all forget every now and then: uninvited opinions/advice (especially those which speak against the preference/opinion/etc. of the poster) are sometimes best either a) not offered or b) offered privately.

People might say this "stifles conversations" — and it does, but maybe the person posting wasn't looking for a conversation and debate?

I know that can be tough, especially given we're all a little bit 'spicy' one way or another, and we just want to share some interesting knowledge or teach someone something. But we're not all here to have those kinds of chats all the time. It can be exhausting, and sometimes very irritating.

Figuring out when is and isn't a good time to offer your opinion is really difficult (or at least it is for me! I often mess that up..!) so the only bit of (uninvited!) advice I could possibly offer there is this — ask :)

You're all wonderful & interesting & good beings. Goodnight 💜
