How is に used in 人に助言をして欲しいタイプ ？


> 人に助言をして欲しいタイプと、人に何かを言われるのが嫌いなタイプの性格の違いは、何でしようか。友人に、人に言われるのが嫌いな人がおられるのですが

I am a bit confused by に here .This sentence: "人に助言をして欲しいタイプ" means the type
that wants to be advised by others. Why isn't から used here instead ? Shouldn't
the sujected marked by に be used for passive e.g :に何かを言われる ？why does it not
mean people who i want to give advise to ? I am very perplexed .




Your understanding 人に助言をして欲しいタイプ= _the type that want to be advised by others_
is correct, but in Japanese 助言をしてほしい is not passive, which may be the source
of confusion.

Compare

  * 私は彼に助言をしてほしい I want him to advise (to me)

So a more literal translation of 人に助言をして欲しい is _(Subject) wants someone to
advise_ , so that 人に助言をして欲しいタイプ means _a type of people who wants someone to
advise_ = _a type of people who wants to be advised_.

Since you can say 誰かから助言が欲しい, から works instead of に, as you guessed.
