Don't tell me what to do

I don't like people telling me what to do. I don't mean at work. Of course people will be telling me what to do all the time at work; that's part and parcel of the job. Sometimes it's a necessity.

I'm talking about outside the office; people trying to tell me what to do with my life. If I wanted your advice, I'd have asked you, thank you very much.

I'm quite frustrated at the moment because someone had overridden what I wanted. I'm not going to go into specifics here, but I was supposed to receive something from another person; and that person overrode it and I received it in a different form. I will admit that the person did mean well when the change was made, but now it's upset what I had planned.

Plus, I don't like people telling me what to do. OK, this doesn't technically count as being told what to do; but it falls broadly into that category because it's as if I'm being told that this is a better option for me; without asking me first.

If I wanted your advice, I'd have asked you, thank you very much. And there are very few people whom I trust for good advice, and if you don't hear me asking you, you're not one of them.
