It's all about context.
If someone tells you what to do in a crisis then that probably will be received very well.
If someone tries to force you to do something you don't want to do, that won't be received very well.
Intent is basically what matters, not the actual words.
So I would agree with this, however, we are obviously not mind readers and intent gets misinterpreted a lot.

True.
But just saying something doesn't mean that those words are true.
You can say to someone that you're trying to help them while actually doing the opposite.
Plus also you might think you're helping them, when in reality you're not.
