I was trying to explain/answer the question you asked me. But why isn't advice attention?
Heck, I think some of us worked for negative attention as kids; for me, a scolding beat no one noticing me at all. I didn't like others telling me what to do or how to do it (advice) but I guess that could have been better more often than abuse. However, I really really didn't like others telling me. . . and let them know it in whatever fashion I could (including cutting off my nose to spite my face) Ain't taking that advice, it's theirs! Not good if it's a care-taking adult's advice; they often don't take kindly to opposition from a child.
But adult-sized to adult-sized advice giving is different as one or the other can get fed up and leave or ignore and there goes what little interaction there may have been.
