Don't you think it's pretty arrogant to tell people what to do in life?
Screw the person who thinks they know whats best for everyone. Kicks them off their high horse

Telling someone what to do with themselves is indeed preachy behavior. However, giving someone your perspective on anything, including what they personally believe is a good or positive path, just one of many, is not harmful in and of itself. Some people genuinely come from a place of compassion. I agree with Halfcactus though. People have to find their own way in life. Best thing you can do is be positive and supportive.
@DanielChristensen: Yes, it's good to get other perspectives but for example, this one guy I know always tells me I have so much potential but I'm not using it. I feel I live up to my full potential but he doesn't think so and the reason he gives is related to that I'm unhappy often. I do what I need to do, it's my path and it's not easy but it's mine. He doesn't understand that.
