I've found this type of advice is easily misunderstood. Most people don't know how to not get offended. So either they try suppress their feelings (and feel depressed) or they defend themselves by lashing out at you. It takes an incredible amount of maturity and experience to learn how to let go. If you find it difficult living with people who can't let go, you're caught in the same trap they are.
