I agree with this sentiment and I often read through other people's questions just to learn more.
Ambie52311 - Try to keep in mind that when we offer advice or feedback on questions or topics it is all part of a larger conversation that helps the whole community not just the original poster. A lot of us sort through and search through older threads when a new question comes up and these sorts of discussions are so so helpful and typically there is usually some wonderful gem in the responses from some of our super experienced users.

Also I recently got chewed out by my best friend for offering "unsolicited advice". She is going through a very difficult time with her spouse medically speaking and was talking about bruising so I mentioned how when I get bruises more than usual its an iron issue so I usually up my red meat or leafy green intake and it does help. She got very put out by my saying that. I understand sometimes we aren't in a head space to accept advice or the advice given may not always be applicable or helpful in our eyes. But, if we start blocking people from trying to help who knows what we are missing out on and what knowledge could be gained. My personal experience was not applicable for my friend but I didn't know that. What if it had been? What if it had been and I had held back so as not to offend her by sharing my own experiences and then her husband needlessly suffered?
I have been dealing with a lot of these sorts of sensitivities lately because there are a lot of pretty awful things people close to me are experiencing which make emotions run a lot higher. As the person on the other side who wants to help and who truly cares and is coming from a place of genuineness it is frustrating and at the same time I do understand it isn't about me and when people are going through stuff sometimes they just need you to shut up and listen.
That said in a forum like this our post questions aren't purely personal. They are archived for the whole group to reference and they are spring boards for interesting and dynamic discussions.
