Engineer training! When you're surrounded by fellow students or co-workers, the general conversation revolves around what problems and challenges you've faced lately, and how to address them. So, that is how I am trained to respond to problems.

If I ran into a lot of 'omg stop giving me advice', I'd probably get trained out of giving advice... Eventually.

I do agree that it's probably very wise to cover the most obvious responses that you do NOT want to get to a statement of some kind...
