Yep. In general, advice on how to treat people better is often used as an excuse to be an asshole to people who aren't following it. Which is kind of ironic, really. A case I personally encountered was somebody who wanted to have better relationships with people and read the book "How To Win Friends And Influence People". Unfortunately, that book is just full of advice on how to make others feel good about themselves, which wasn't their aim, and it really backfired into blaming others for not following the book's advice.
