This happens all the time. I refer to perception. The same sentence of phrase can mean different things to different people.

There is nothing else you can do except to apologise and explain what you really meant to say.

In the future, make sure you give advice to people who trust you and whom you trust and truly want to help.

It helps and it is important to not drop hints or speaking in too general terms when giving advice.

Double check and make sure that your message is received the way you want it to be.

Good luck!!

It's okay, different people handle things differently so don't take it too harshly. Typing is sort of hard to understand sometimes because we can't exactly understand sarcasm and can't see facial expressions or tone of voice.

Don't freak out about it. Not everyone will like your advice. It goes with the territory!

I don't know what exactly you wrote because you must have deleted it when you added an edit.

The only advice I can give you for the future is not to answer those kinds of questions. If you don't have experience on a topic its best you just skip on by the question.

It is good to have strong religious and moral beliefs. I'm all for that. However, not everyone feels the same. If you feel you have to say something you will probably hear from them about it. You are free to tell them your opinion and they are also entitled to tell you they didn't like it!

She wasn't rude about it. Look at her feedback as being useful information for the future and forget about it.

If someone should give you feedback that is just nasty. Swearing and calling you names,,,file an abuse report for that. But don't waste time feeling bad about your advice.
