"but the people here can only offer advice and insight and be honest with you..."

The truth is that there are a lot of people on this forum and each person has their own conscious and unconscious agenda(s). If someone is upset by the feedback they are given I don't think that is always because THAT person is not responding appropriately. Sure, ideally we should always take what helps and ditch the rest, but if we are already struggling this isn't always as easy as it sounds.
