The next time you want to give someone advice – make sure you’re not meddling...
Are you just trying to help? Or are you meddling? There’s a big difference, and Judy Kurianski, author of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to a Healthy Relationship,” tells us when to mind our own business:
• Two friends are arguing. Stay out of it if it involves taking sides with one of them. Encourage them to work it out on their own instead.
• A coworker is upset. Don’t dig for hidden agendas or dirt on the boss. If it doesn’t involve you, don’t offer to help.
• Someone you care about is making a big mistake. If they don’t want your advice, avoid giving it anyway. Offer to talk about it – but don’t imply you know what’s best for them.
