Why do people ask for advice and then either don't believe you or don't take it?

Idk why this ended up in this forum btw!

So I'm in uni and there are two students on the same course. As an alumni, they always ask me questions (they are also from a foreign country). Even if its a general question to do with marking, submitting essays, things the tutor said about the assessment when they weren't listening. And they never believe me. Despite me proving that I'm right after each time. And then when it comes to assessment-I read over one of their essays to check grammar and made some suggestions and was told "no I'm not editing it" and then complained when they failed. Why bother asking in the first place? I'm not longer helping them but it really irked me. Has anyone else had this issue

I face this all the time but the we can't control anyone...All we can do is give an honest reply or whatever it is and its up to them to agree or disagree.

I love helping people and its so lovely when they accept what you say.
Generally, they just listen and ignore...
I'm like why did he/she even ask me then!? 🤕

But this is every single answer I give. They say "I don't think so" even when they weren't at the damn seminar! I'm fine with them questioning what I say, but literally every single time? We are doing our dissertations atm and one of them asked a question and I said no we don't do that for this type of dissertation and literally, the argument! Even when the tutor has suggested that we read example dissertations, the thing she is asking about isn't in a single one. It's like unless I'm confirming what they want the answer to be, what I say is wrong! Even the fact that the uni had a name change a few years ago when I was an undergrad. For me I always called it by that name (force of habit) and when I explained why, they said "no it's always been called ..." and "are you sure?". It frustrates the **** out of me, ofc I'm sure, I was a damn student here when it happened! Ugh, it will get to the point where I will just ignore them

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

If they refuse to accept your advice, stop wasting your time giving it in future. It's not your responsibility if they don't do well.
