I might be a little bit more cynical than you on this - it's true to say that people often have well-intentioned advice even if it's taken the wrong way - but I also think there's a lot of people who give advice just to be heard, or to win the conversation.

I think the true colours come out in those conversations when that advice quickly becomes an argument when challenged. If someone is really trying to help why would they lose their cool and press the point if the help isn't helpful?

This is true but I think it's just human nature. We see it play out on all levels of human society. That's not to say that it's not bad. It just is what is.

But I'm not excusing it just because of that. It's like if my cat tries to get the food on my plate, I'll shoo it away but I'm not gonna get too upset about it since it's just being a cat. It's undesirable behavior that should definitely be discouraged, but at the same time it's understandable.
