Why do boomers feel the need to give constant, unwanted, advice?

Seriously. I don’t want your opinion or your “expertise” or anything. Keep your experiences and feelings to yourself.

Let me live my life. If I want advice or help, I’ll ask people I trust.

This applies to actual boomers and online boomers, and also to people who have a boomer mindset.

Boomers were socialized in a pre-internet world. It was lonely and boring, SO BORING. A lot of them decided one way to stave off boredom was to talk too much, a trait that hasn’t quite died out yet.
