A teenage girl named Ananya often found herself buried under a mountain of advice. Relatives, neighbors, even teachers had something to say about how she should behave, what she should study, and how she should plan her future. Ironically, her parents themselves did not always follow the same values they insisted on — her mother often spoke about discipline but lived a very unorganized life, and her father lectured about savings while spending recklessly.
Ananya listened quietly but carried the weight of these words in her mind. She felt torn between what people told her and what she saw around her. The advice, instead of guiding her, left her anxious, confused, and doubtful of her own choices. Slowly, she began to realize that much of the advice was not about her growth but about others projecting their own fears. The mismatch between what was said and what was lived made her feel lost, almost guilty, for not living up to expectations that even her parents didn’t keep.
Over time, Ananya learned that not all advice deserves a place in her heart. She started to separate wisdom from noise, following only what resonated with her values and dreams. It was a difficult but liberating journey — one that showed her how unwanted advice can be more harmful than helpful if we don’t learn to filter it.
Many times, we are flooded with advice we never asked for, yet cannot escape.
This constant flow of unwanted suggestions creates inner noise more than clarity.
Most of it holds little relevance to our actual lives, yet it lingers in our minds.
Instead of helping, such advice often breeds confusion, doubt, and self-criticism.
Over time, it adds to psychological strain, leaving us more burdened than guided.
In the end, advice without meaning becomes a silent weight on our mental well-being.
