uninvited
Lacking an invitation
Uninvited means not asked or welcomed.
An uninvited guest shows up without being asked.
Uninvited attention or advice comes when unwanted: He offered his uninvited opinion on my parenting.
The word often carries a note of intrusion or presumption—uninvited presence implies you should have waited to be asked.
