Is it true that when we most need advice we are least willing to listen to it? Or is good advice always welcome? This depends on the individual person, as some people accept advice more readily, but I think the former is truer than the latter.
When people need advice, more often than not they are in emotional distress. They may feel like actually doing something about it is to difficult or heartbreaking, so they just ignore all advice. Or they may take your advice as criticism and block you and your advice out.
When someone most needs advice, they have run out of feasible solutions. They can’t seem to fix their problem, and any chance of it getting better is impossible. Giving them advice at this point in time is like asking them to jab a puppy in the eye. Quite possible, but gut-wrenching and heart-breaking, and it makes them want to throw up and they are absolutely certain they can’t do that.
Misery loves company. That basically sums it up. When we have a problem, we want someone to listen and sympathize. We don’t really want them to fix the problem right at first. It comes off like a lack of sympathy, like “If you’d just listen to me and do this/that you wouldn’t have this problem and I wouldn’t have to listen to you crying like a baby.”
“Advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring. Truly wise people are rare, and there is much debate as to who they are, so advice tends to be disastrous even if the giver had good intentions. If advice is good, it is always welcome, but it is hard to know what really IS good advice, so beware.
