I think that one's expectations after giving advice can lead one to feeling bad. Sometimes the help is helpful right away, sometimes it takes awhile for someone to put help into use, and sometimes help is not helpful to that other person.
But I come at it from the other direction -I would rather not have any help at all than have the person who wanted to be helpful mad/resentful at me when I don't use or want their type of help.
