We love giving advice, but sometimes we unconsciously project our own bias, pride, or privilege. A good self-check is this:

“If I were in their shoes — same background, same problems — would this advice truly help me?”

This quick reflection removes arrogance, increases empathy, and leads to more actionable, respectful help. It’s the difference between advice that uplifts vs. advice that judges.

People don’t need lectures. They need understanding and realistic support.
