My Friend's Unwanted Advice: When my Whole Life Becomes a Topic of Discussion
このQ&Aのポイント
A longtime friend who is a family therapist often gives unsolicited advice in various settings, causing me to feel like my whole life is up for comment or criticism.
Despite her good intentions, my friend's constant advice-giving leaves me feeling unheard and like my personal life is constantly being evaluated.
I appreciate her expertise, but I would like to find a way to set boundaries and maintain a balanced friendship.
どのような意味でしょうか
I have a longtime friend who opened up her own family therapy practice a few years ago. She is a great person and a credit to her profession, but more and more often she is unable to “shut off” her advice-giving. She’ll give her “professional opinion” and suggest techniques for others to try, without being asked, in private conversations, in group settings, at parties, at church, and on social media.
You might think, “This is great! Free professional advice!” as I did at first, but instead of feeling heard as a friend, I feel like my whole life is up for comment or criticism.
my whole life is up for comment or criticismとはどのような意味でしょうか?よろしくお願いします

私の一生全部が、コメントとか批評に取り上げられる
(あなたは『しめた、専門家の忠告がタダで聞ける』と思うかも知れない、私も初めはそう思った、でも(いまでは)友達として聞いてもらえるのではなく)私の暮らしの全てがコメントや批判に曝されている(ように感じる。)
