>dont get why that upsets you.

Because this often sounds like people think you haven't tried (almost) everything yet and of course they might have a solution.

I think your and parent commenter's situation and reaction are polar though. One was in the situation where they receive an unwelcome advice all too often, the other one would like more attention but never got one.

Notice than you are prepared to do something you are not really iterested in and possibly don't even need - only to give some 3rd party a satisfaction as a "thank you" for their attention.

How else could they get to know that if the whole topic is taboo?

Well, it's not a taboo (at least I've read it as if the person is just tired of it).
But generally you can just ask something like "Will it be fine with you if you I share a piece of advice?"
This works even better if you tell why you think this might be relevant at all (for example if you have some expertise or have a very similar experience yourself).
