Sometimes, people do things with the best intentions, but they don't always land the way they expect. There are many times when individuals want to help us, do us favors, or even give us gifts—but, we don't want or need them. Even getting advice from others can mean well, but we didn't ask, nor want it at all.

15 Well-Intentioned Things That Women Still Don't Appreciate
Cleaning up the stuff that's not yours.

Trying to change their mind about big decisions.

Commenting on people's body weight.

"People felt like it was their god-given right to comment about my body. Doesn’t matter where we’re at, if they noticed that I’ve lost weight, you’ll hear it. When I gain weight, you’ll definitely hear about it. Sometimes they mean it as a compliment but it always makes me feel uncomfortable and it’s never welcome," shared
Inviting people to intimate plans.

Unsolicited medical advice.

Being overly peppy and encouraging.

"I can’t exercise in front of my friends as a fat person. I know they mean well but when they’re overly peppy and encouraging when I’m sweaty and out of breath I just feel stupid. Once we hiked a mountain and I made them go off ahead of me so I wouldn’t snap at them," shared

When people gasp at your age.

Telling people how strong they are.

"Being told how strong or resilient I am in the face of my health issues and the struggle to survive. Sometimes, it feels more like they're saying, 'You're doing so great on your own, so you don't need any help or support from me! thumbs up.'

Giving dieting tips.

Trying to give people a break when they don't want one.

Not understanding when people explain what is wrong.

"When I express plainly to friends and family that I'm overstimulated and they try to be kind and check up on me.
