Advice isn't designed to be a command or a put down, it's just another person providing their input and perspective to one's own issues, which can actually be really helpful. It's only a negative when the advice giver either invalidates the concerns or perspectives of the recipient or when the advice giver has an unreasonable expectation that their advice will be adhered to rather than just simply considered and potentially rejected.
