I often find myself in dilemma, whether to advice someone on an issue or not to, when someone is sharing their difficulties with me. The modern generation easily take advice as lectures and it is hard to decide when to offer wise words especially when someone doesn't directly ask for a piece of advice but you know that you can actually help them with your experience. How do you handle such a situation?

I only give advices to people that ask for it and would value it. I can't be giving advices to anyone that has not shown humility enough to ask me for advice. I just watch people do the wrong things and I would not even bother to advise. Giving advice is not supposed to be so cheap that it can be given to just anyone.

I am more towards advising when someone seeks help, like a friend asking for career tips over coffee, as it builds connection and trust. But I hold back if unasked, respecting boundaries, like staying quiet during a family debate, to avoid seeming pushy. Context matters, offer guidance thoughtfully.
You can always share your thoughts with those who confide with you on certain matters.
It is what is wise to be done and if they decide to disregard what you have told them, you can then do what is be, t which is not advising them in the future when it matters.
