It’s my personal philosophy that advice and suggestions are the same thing. Suggestions are not requirements.
Personally, if another person came to me seeking advice, I’d feel honored that they hold me in a regard high enough to consider how I’d act in a situation and apply it to theirs.
People who get angry when their advice is not used are just weird.
I totally agree with you, but it hits different when the advice is delivered by a close friend, boss, SO, etc. who is frustrated with you because they’re assuming your intentions are bad and they don’t respect you or trust you because they think you’re choosing to fail at certain things. When this is happening with most every relationship you have on a daily basis over 10, 20, 30+ years it can be a lot to handle

The problem is that the advice is usually unsolicited
