Why do relatives feel that they should always talk about doing things the right way and how do they know what they say is the right way?
Some examples -
Don't get me wrong, I love relatives. I just don't enjoy someone giving advice when I didn't ask them. Especially when I can't trust their source of information for anything - life advices, religion, shastra, traditions, women's rights etc.
And, I am really tired fighting battle and tackling so much misinformation about everything. All I do is just listen to them and move on!
Wanted to know what do you guys do?
The only thing you can do is to ignore , I know it’s cliche but at the end of the day , you cannot shut others mouths with tape or something lol . At the end of it all , they are your family. Best possible thing is to avoid being around the relatives who gives you free advices the most !
The thing is, I know they mean well. And they are family
Then I think you’ve heard the proverb ignorance is a bliss , respect them as they are your family and they mean well for you but don’t let it burden you
My goto expression is "🙂👍" so that they STFU
But do they? I see them finding new things to advice on

Earphone one is correct no? Anything in high usage is damaging. Also I think for the hot water point, it maybe correct
Hot water- no scientific evidence to suggest that. Earphones - same thing. Listening to it in high volumes can damage, but other than that, no evidence to suggest earphone usage itself is bad. If it was, do you think there would be hearing devices like earphones?
There are so many more superstitions-

Le my parents who don’t let my relatives to meet me 😅😅.
Accha hai, but I feel you are missing out. It's fun to be with Family. You understand that you have people in your life who want to be with you, who care about you
Yeah that is fine. I meet my immediate cousins and all. But the other relatives like far ones. They just don’t allow them 😅
You can respond in an equivalent manner of nodding (depending upon the mode of their communication) and then you can choose to ignore it.
On a side note they aren't wrong about headphones (we can't completely stop using it but we should reduce the usage): https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/headphone-culture-why-alka-yagniks-advice-should-not-fall-on-deaf-ears/articleshow/111186170.cms
If you control the volume for headphones, it's not harmful. That's the point I was trying to make
Yeah that's correct.
We have to be mindful about the volume, if we are then nothing much to worry about.
I think we all face this, how do you deal with relatives who always try to put you down in every possible way, constantly compare salary, foreign tour, abroad jobs, new car, new home, education institute, vacations , like they are the pe...
