This happens with almost everyone in the entirety of human history. People want empathy and sensitivity when they ask for help. They don't want someone to tell they are "wrong" or be "hard" on them. This goes for all people. In the real world with NTs, you'd be caught in massive social media backlash, if not sued in court. Though to be fair you do seem to lack tact and sensitivity when understanding others...

...You aren't a bad person! Though you every much aren't a relateable tactful, and sensitive. If you can't be these 3 things, then you shouldn't give advice, help or comment on someone's problem. It will make you look like a horrible person, who is full of themselves.
The saying goes "No one wants the godawful truth!" and the other one goes "There's honesty and honesty, use the latter not the former!"

The trick is knowing when to offer genuine advice or just some fairy-floss (cotton candy) on a stick.
