Can you shut them up, without being rude yourself? Let's just say that you are sensitive and believe that advice and opinions (uninvited) are rude and even hurtful. What is a polite, but 'clear' message for those who think they are 'helping' you?

How about "Thanks for your opinion even though I never asked for it and it's really none of your concern so why don't you keep any future opinions to yourself?" Always works for me!

It's a good practice to share personal information only with those you can trust.
That being said, just tell the person, "Thank you," then turn your back and walk away.

Just say "thank-you"then go about your business and do what you think best. We all learn from our own mistakes and not anothers.

You might try telling them, "I'd prefer to handle things myself, but thank you very much," or something like that.
