Unsolicited advice feels like criticism. It almost never is intended as such, but that's often how it feels. It's also almost always self-serving; the advisor wants to be a hero, and the recipient picks up on this and ends up feeling alone. Really recommend the book Messages: The Communications Skills Book by McKay.

I think that's overgeneralized.
"If you cut across on Maple, you can skip that slow light on Main Street."
"Nice. I'll try that next time."
