Hi srikool! Don't get me wrong. But I don't think your brother will advise you for no reason at all. I guess there is something you have done that made him do that over and over again. Yes, it's really irritating. But somehow our love ones are just concern to us that's why they give us advises. Stay cool! Happy mylotting!

Hi srikool, If the adviser is your brother ( dont know older or younger) then you have to be patience and try to find some kool idea to stop him, like every morning you can ask him--do you have any advise for me dear bro Or give him a advise quote book as a gift maybe for his next birthday and write their--like if he need any quote to say you as a advise. If your relationship is cool and he have respect for you --maybe he can understand, advise bother you. Or if he is a serious type person then ........do you have cotton ??

You said this person is your brother correct? Well if he is your brother/family you can just say something like "well that is one way of looking at the situation but I think I am going to do it my way."
You could start a conversation off with: I want to tell you something but I do not need any advice on it, just for you to listen. Then your brother may understand you just need a sounding board.
I guess it really depends on how close you are with your brother. If my own brother started to give my unrequested advice he would get told " thanks but I am good on that subject right now but if I need any advice I would ask for it".......then I would chuckle.
Most people know that I don't like unrequested advice because I have told them about an incident where an in law of mine gave me an earful of totally unwanted advice once. So if/when anyone has ever tried to give me unrequested advice again I tell them THAT story, usually soon after I get the advice and I don't have to worry much about this happening again.:-)
So it looks like you have let your brother give you advice before so he thinks it is right and ok for him to keep giving it to you. You may have to be quite blunt with him. Usually when you tell a man about something happening in your life the try to solve the problem by giving you advice, that's what they do. Women are more prone to listening and empathizing rather than advice giving.
Remember most people who give advice are in their heart of hearts trying to help you. This may help you with the anger part.
(sorry about this being such a long answer for advice on advice; LOL)
