You might not be the audience

Sometimes people don’t want advice.

Sometimes people don’t want feedback.

Sometimes people don’t want to learn.

Sometimes people don’t want to get monetized.

And it’s okay. You might not be the audience.

The urge to help is natural. It’s also often misplaced.

This isn’t about them being closed-minded. It’s about you not being their audience.

The most generous thing you can do sometimes is witness someone’s experience without trying to change it.

You don’t have to be relevant to everyone.
