Oh totally. I had an exchange here with someone a few nights ago - I'm sure you can find it if you search.
She asked for help with nutrition - so I asked some questions and gave her some answers and she got angry and accused me to patronizing her and being rude to her. Every message she posted included some version of "I just don't know what to do" or "I feel hopeless" and yet she was angry that I tried to help her. And while I think there is definitely a time and a place when a pat on the back and a "there there" is more important than advice, I think there are also just a lot of people out there who don't REALLY want help. They want someone to say "you're right ... it's soooo hard and no one understands and it's ok to just give up" - or words to that effect.
