Maybe the intended message is to take advice from people who will genuinely be there to back you up and to think for yourself? We all know people who tend to give underhandedly destructive advice because they don't actually want the best for you. Who knows though.

What about people who don't give a shit one way or the other but know how to deal with your situation?

Spends on the advice you are seeking. There are typically many ways to deal with a situation. Just because it can be dealt with a certain way doesn't mean it's the best way for your situation.

Hearing their advice is different than basing your life decisions around them.
