Step 3: Listen to Unsolicited Advice

At this stage, you should start listening to unsolicited advice from your aunt at family gatherings, because let's face it, she's got 30 years of experience being wrong, and she's not afraid to share it.

Some people may tell you that you're going about it wrong, that you should do things a different way, that you're not doing it right, or that you're not doing it at all. Don't be alarmed, this is just the unsolicited advice you've been waiting for.

Here are some tips to get the most out of this experience:

• Nod enthusiastically while pretending to listen.
• Akwardly change the subject to steer the conversation towards your own accomplishments.
• Make sure to have a glass of wine or two to dull the pain of the experience.
