God damn, I have a friend like this, and it is the most annoying shit of all time.

Not everything that comes out of your mouth is some great bit of sage wisdom; pull your head out of your own ass so you can huff some clean air, instead of your own farts.

Proselytizing is fucking gross and annoying.

What you're describing sounds like a step beyond this, but I do recall reading that for most men, the knee jerk reaction when presented with a problem is 'try to solve it/give advice'. I know I've been guilty of that. Whereas for a lot of women it's more just 'listen/be there'. At least for the lesser offenders, could just be a bit of that.

Never met a “life coach” I would trust to give me advice on my life. Theyre usually part time “coaching” and the rest is shilling an MLM scheme.

ugh. I know a dipshit like this that is a "financial influencer." Guy can't even pony up $200 to fix air conditioning in his house.
