unsolicited advice

Help nobody requested

Unsolicited advice is guidance or suggestions offered without being asked for.

The term carries a negative connotation—advice freely given often feels intrusive or presumptuous: Nobody wants your unsolicited advice about their parenting.

The phrase implies the giver has overstepped, however well-intentioned.
