If someone asks you for advice and
then purposefully ignores it, and
then blames you, they most likely has some mental problem (depression is quite common).
Doubtful. They may just be baiting people to draw them close enough to insult and embarrass them, like some kind of perverse form of virtue signalling.

Sure people don't like it when their pride is hurt. People often deny being wrong, which leads them to most disastrous choices. But I'm not sure if the example is relevant to the topic. Did your neighbor's daughter ask her mother for advice and later blamed her?
Step-mother. I was there when she asked all of us for advice on how to make him nicer. First the step-mom voice her opinion, then the dad said, "You should listen to her", and then the daughter made a dramatic exit and ran out of the house.
You know ... typical teen-age melodrama. No diagnosis of depression, just a confused and hostile girl too proud to listen to reason and too stupid to reason for herself.
