Among Friends

[Bird mama]

So aside from the cough drop in your mouth, lol, just let it go in one ear and out the other.  My middle sister has started doing this kind of thing to me too.  I think it's because we lost my eldest sister somewhat out of the blue in 2016 and I'm all she's got.  It can be annoying, boy do I know it.  I have an uncanny ability to tune out though :-)

This isn't something I do every night. I was extremely sick last week & my mouth was so dry, at times it stuck together completely, lol. I had a rough couple of nights, was the only reason for it. I had some things going I had never experienced!! I also had it on the side where it didn't move.

If she's been doing this your entire relationship, I don't know is she's able to stop.  It's in her DNA.  If you want to remain friends, talk about it with her.

Whatever the situation, it's probably a good idea not to mention things like this to her.  It seems that she cautions you enough when she makes her own observations when you're together.  No need to give her extra info that will only fan the flames!

Trust me, being a Scorpio has nothing to do with it.  I'm one.  I never tell people what to do.

Heya Citrine!  Me too!

Sounds like my sister!   She has advice for everyone / everything.  "You know what you should do?"

We just say okay and ignore the advice.  No use starting a war over it.

I like this approach, @x Hedge.  Keep it light but getting the point across.

Obviously she cares about the OP.  For some reason she is worrisome and fearful which triggers her "worst case scenario" concerns.

Some people seem to have a need to be right - even when they are wrong. I guess I'd just say thanks to the unsolicited advice, but if it gets unbearable, you need to have a more serious chat with her.

If it were me on the receiving end of the unsolicited advice and "safety warnings", I would've gently put an end to it the first time it happened. Subsequent occurrences would not be treated as kindly. Since she's been doing this for some time, the precedent has been set that it's acceptable and I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to stop.
