My search was "What does it mean when I've given up on giving advice to a person?" It led me here. My purpose was to determine if I even care about what happens to them now -- because I'm not always great with gauging my own feelings and can sometimes be guilted back into care if I see potential, but it's never the same afterward. I figured it out by the end of this article. I do not trust those that do not trust me or don't make an effort to communicate their own boundaries.
I think delivery matters.
ENTJs give advice to the people that they love and the people that cross our paths that seemingly need assistance. It's duty you see, not overconfidence nor power tripping. The people around us need healthy, clear boundaries. Everyone needs healthy and clear boundaries. If I know a person doesn't appreciate advice, I don't give it. Simple. When I receive unwanted advice it's easy to COMMUNICATE this politely. Maybe it's the rigidity, as you say, of my personality; but we all have the responsibility of learning how to communicate effectively. It's just a part of growing up.
Giving advice is a part of who I am and I will not apologize for it just because a few people are incompatible with that aspect of who I am. You trying to shame us for who we are was never going to work. You'd know that if you knew us.
I'd give you some unsolicited advice in closing, but...

This was just hate p*rn. A silly read, frankly.
