unwanted advice
Help nobody requested
Unwanted advice is counsel or suggestions offered when not requested, often perceived as intrusive or presumptuous.
The phrase emphasizes the recipient's perspective—advice that might be perfectly sound becomes unwanted when unsolicited: I didn't ask for your unwanted advice about my marriage.
The redundancy with "unsolicited" is intentional, stressing that the guidance is not merely unrequested but actively unwelcome.
