People used to give me a lot of advice, I was once quite meek and unconfident.
Friends and family saw that and would give me detailed advice, they would tell me exactly what I should say or do in a situation. Advice is good but sometimes people give too much advice, and may make the other person feel like the advisor has no real confidence in the advisees ability to make their own choices.
This is totally personal, not saying this is what happened in your situation.
You did say “I kept helping him” though, and that’s when he cut off the conversation right?
