When someone teaches you something you didn't ask to learn, your brain reacts like it's in physical pain. UCLA scientists watched it happen on brain scans in 2003. The same wiring that fires when you stub your toe also fires when someone treats you like you need fixing.

Naomi Eisenberger and Matthew Lieberman ran the study and published it in Science. The brain region is the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, which is just the fancy name for your main pain alarm. It doesn't care whether the threat is a hot stove or a friend telling you how to live.

A neuroscientist named David Rock built a framework around this in 2008. Five things make the brain feel safe in social moments: status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness, and fairness. Take away any of those and the alarm fires. Rock wrote that one of the easiest ways to dent someone's status is to give them advice they didn't ask for. Even hinting that they're doing something wrong is enough.

When people are told what to do, they often do the opposite, even when the advice was good. The psychologist Jack Brehm noticed this in 1966, and sixty years of follow-up have confirmed it. The brain is trying to keep your life feeling like your own.

Close friends cut each other off with unsolicited advice in about 70% of supportive conversations, often before the friend has even finished explaining the problem. That number comes from a 2016 study by Bo Feng and Eran Magen in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships. The closer the friendship, the worse it gets. And the advice tends to make them more stressed, more depressed, and more lonely, not less.

Giving advice gives the giver a sense of power, even when nobody asked for it. Michael Schaerer and his co-authors, working across Harvard, Duke, INSEAD, USC, and Singapore Management, published this in 2018 after four experiments with about 700 people. People who chase power volunteer advice more often than others. Whether the student actually improves is a side effect, if it happens at all.

So when you feel the urge to teach somebody who never asked, that urge is mostly about you. You walk away feeling a little more powerful. They walk away feeling like they were just told they can't run their own life. Most uninvited teaching is one person's ego dressed up as kindness.

AHSAA will take down softball teams for petty rules but refuse to address the issue of the mega powerhouse football programs funneling in kids every hour of the day.

@coachcurd @kyronsamuels Agreed

@coachcurd @kyronsamuels Coach I have a friend that says Will underperformed his last year at Bama. I’m thinking of no longer calling him a friend.

My dad is 75 and lives in Iowa. He got the MLB Extra Innings package to watch the Tigers again this year - something he plans his whole day around.

Tonight, Detroit (664 miles from his house) hosted Milwaukee (360 miles from his house). Couldn't watch. Blacked out. (1/2)

All these Pats fans screaming “it’s none of your business, it’s their personal life” didn’t have that same energy when Mike Vrabel chimed in on TreyVeon Henderson’s Christian social media post.

I’m not Christian, I just know hypocrisy when I see it.

[Tony Farmer @Tonysmarkettips]

Vrabel really stood in front of the media and said a player posting a bible verse needed to be educated ... then stood in front of the same press and took zero accountability for hurting his family and distracting his team. Which of those two issues has been a bigger distraction?

A young fan at a Pittsburgh Pirates game was spotted wearing a jersey with the number 28 by outfielder Jake Mangum himself. He threw a ball towards her, caught by the girl’s big brother, who handed it to her. @DavidMuir shares the sweet sibling moment. https://t.co/JgVTlWqVHD
