heres the situation:
a person gives another person some "heartfelt" advice, but that person who gave the advice treats the person whom they gave the advice negatively soon after; in other words, they tell you how you can "change your life for the better", but then the next day (or whenever) they start bullying you, talking down, and essentially tearing down all of the positive things they told you to do previously? I know that they would be considered a hypocrite, but is there a more specific terminology or even mental condition that you'd call a person like this?

The only insight I might have would depend on the type of advice that was given. If the advice giver gave a personal story to explain what they did wrong and how to avoid it they may now feel resentment that that person listenig to the advice if the advice is taken will fair better in the world than they ( advice giver) did. It is weird but it is a side of human nature. Or they could feel exposed when around that person because fo the personal story that might have been shared.

Cuckoo!! Thats what you call them!!
Seriously - I've known people like that. They build you up - then soon after try to tear you down. Usually its a person who has second thoughts about the compliment - as if they've given you something for free and need to take it back. It is bizzare behaviour. You have to reach a point of inner confidence, where neither compliments nor criticisms affect you too strongly.

There isn't terminology or a medical/mental condition responsible. The hard fact is the person is simply a jerk who, while asking for advice, isn't will to listen to or apply the advice given.
I've known plenty of people like this. Just move on - they are not worth your time.
