I've successfully answered other peoples' relationship problems on Yahoo! Answers and in real life, but I can barely deal with my own. I don't understand how I'm better at helping other people out and not myself.

Why don't you ask a question when you are confused about something and then answer it yourself.

its the way life is im afraid!!! you can see the problems others have from an outsiders point of view, so it is easier to provide solutions and support, when it is your own relationship tho you are engulfed in the feelings and often cant see whats best, or even if you do know deep down whats best to do in a situation you dont do it because of those feelings you feel!!
hope that makes sence!!
just try to think what you would advise someone else to do if they were going through what you are going through, even if it maybe hard to carry it through at least you are awake to the problems you have and what you would feel is "best" for you in the situation

Maybe you haven't thought enough about yourself and have concentrated too much on other people. Another possibility is that you just do what comes naturally and don't consider all of the alternatives which you should. Some people are good at helping others but lousy at helping themselves. Think more about your situations and circumstances and ponder them more fully and I think you will be able to help yourself better.

Because its always easier to look outside than within. You need to reconcile that with yourself though. I'd hold off on giving advice until I'm good at working things out with my own problems. People find it hard to take advice from someone who seems to not know any better their damn self.

You may be too close to your own situation to see the real issues. Try taking time with your decisions and step back and try to view them from a 3rd person point of view.

Still answer questions but worry about your own life to don't let any one or any thing get in the way of your own love life!

It is hard to look at your own situation and decide what is best. I guess you are too close (someone you can trust) to make a good decision. It is easy to help and advice others. Try talking to a close freind to help you with your situation. They can view things differently. Good luck.

You sound like a sweet guy. Maybe it's because you're good inside, but soft and easy to hurt.
Sometimes you just need someone else to show you the way out. It's too hard to do it yourself.
I forgot to say that you also need someone to tell you what to do.

Welcome to the club!
I seem to the be person people like to ask for advice. I've helped out a number of friends with thier relationships, but I can't seem to make mine work.
Keep plugging away, be aware of yourself and your relationship, and try to step outside yourself to see if you have any issues.
Good Luck!

most likely because u aren't emotionally invested in other people's problems like u are your own. therefore u are able to think clearly and make more rational choices. i'm the same way.
