Why do people give their opinion when you never asked for their opinion?

Oops, I just responded to your toothpaste post and I hope you are not offended that I did offer an extra opinion of it.. Though I did answer your question, I also added what I thought about it..

People like this are everywhere. So just be patient! haha.. But well, it is just their personality. They like to talk. They like to complain and they like to give comments without clearly look at themselves. They just like to comment.. because they like to talk! that's it. Just let them talk. Because they will be suffer if they don't talk even a minute. I, myself, have experiences with those people. So, I always stuck earphone in my ear and listen to the music. Acting that way, will send them a signal that you don't want to listen or even hear them. Or, sometimes I just simply give them a smile and walk away.

These people have the self confidence. They have the eagerness to share and the enthusiasm to talk. No doubt this behaviour may cause some irritation (of course, I am also irrated by people who speak when their opinion is not called for), at times what they say may make some sense. It helps to give a listening ear.

Hi Cream, I get it a lot working in the public. They feel the need to tell me what they think of my shirt or hair or if I have gained weight or look tired. If it were helpful that'd be one thing but most times it's not. It actually amuses me how many people are comfortable just coming in and making such comments. Did they never see Bambi? If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all.

Hi,cream97.... I know many people here are sick of this bunch of people u refer here,It's ok to me however unless they wanna force me take their advises......... I can ignore what they saying ,leave the nagging there and brush them aside all if I dont wanna their opinion at all

I think because people like to feel important. There are the ones with good intention, these are trying to help.

hi cream good for you. Do mot let people push your buttons. If someone comes up with unwanted advice just say sorry but I did not ask for your opinion, if I had I would have said so. so bye now take care. enjoy your own opinions and I will enjoy mine.At my age I can get away with being blunt. try it you might like it.

The thing with the world is that the most easiest thing to do is give advice. And after that giving opinions. Advices though never hurt anybody, opinions do. But it's usually upto people to take or neglect the opinions. Although we want to retort to people who give us free opinions, we cannot really tell some people anything because they are close to us. So I would say that instead of retorting just try to ignore them as much as possible. But if they are still pestering, then you have an answer ready for them. bourne

It is annoying but not much we can do about it except to walk away or ask them to keep their opinions to themselves. What you popose is fine and I hope it helps your frustration lower. I don't usually say things to people except those i know will give me needed feedback. Such as my counselor or good friends that I respect their opinions. That way I am neither frustrated by their opinions or put off by them.

Some people just want to give their opinions, whether you want it or not. They believe their way is the right way. Maybe if you hear it, they think you will heed their advice. Some people just can't help giving out their opinion. I am sure that many are just trying to help. Others just want their voices to be heard.

life is just like that..it is just that way..

Many people like to talk, and they like to share their opinion. When they heard some topic that they interested. They will try to join talk. That is a kind of habit for some people are really like to talk. And they talk a lot without thinking of others feeling. They will just say anything they like and tell you what to do. Normally if I do not like that person, I will straight away as that guy stop talking. Or we will try to change topic that not interest him/her.

Wow. I also hate those people, which have to say anything about everything, and I'm not talking about their opinions, I'm talking in general. I think it comes from a place of eggo, they have to show everybody that they are smart or something..

Well, not all the people give their opinion when you don't ask them, but most of them are like that and I really hate when someone give his opinion without asking him it is really annoying like one of my friends who never shut his mouth and try to learn everybody what to do, sometimes he really annoys us with his opinions about everything and in anytime. We are trying to do something funny and he always says a stupid opinion that we hate and we decided to tell him about that and to stop annoy us

Hi cream, not sure if you want my opinion...hehehe, but I totally agree with you. I deal with the public everyday and like you, am tired of them always vocing what they think I want to hear and how they see things. Even when I have made astatement and not a question they still feel as if they should contribute and say something. Whatever happened to "Silence is golden!" Being silent can have a bigger impact than some of the idiotic nonesense that people utter.

I agree. I think people are just trying to feel important, like they are helping you. But they are not doing it right and end up upsetting the person they are trying to impress. The best thing to do is to not let it get to you as that will not solve anything. If they offer their opinion just say thanks and walk away.
