Must you get offended every time you ask for advice and get it?
If you're referring to the other occasion when I asked for advice and people ignored all non-keywords I had uttered instead of answering my actual, specific question, yeah, I probably must get at least somewhat offended when that happens. I value my ability to react emotionally to my environment. I don't get offended when I ask for advice and get advice that corresponds to what I asked for.
Might I suggest exasperation? It's tastier and healthier than offense!
I wouldn't have chosen the word "offended" to describe my emotional state in the first place, but I didn't think going "I'm not offended!" would have been a very credible response; it never is.
