all of my friends turn to me for advice and i am really flattered that they like me but it is getting to much. i enjoy giving them advice as they say it works. But i just want to tell them that i need a break. How can i tell them so they dont get i a mood with me?

I don't know how old you are, but I was in a similar situation and the way I got away with it was in nightclubs. When they started to talk about their problems I cut them off and said "Let's just have a great evening and forget about this stuff!". Then I either got them a drink or dragged them onto the dancefloor. This actually worked quite well, especially if you're in a happy, bubbly mood and get them to cheer up.
If this happens when you're at home, I'm not too sure. You could try something similar by putting on a funny movie or go to the cinema.
Hope it helped & good luck! :)

Well...I'm known as the school therapist. LOL...corny...but I do get Tired of other peoples' problems. But I just say I need to think about it...and in that time I'm actually relaxing my mind. It's hard, I love my friends and all but I have to tell them to "Give Me A Break" Don't be afraid to tell your friends how you feel about them not fixing their own problems without you.

i know how you feel. i am the same and even if i switch jobs people at work seem to think i have all the answers. it is hard to say no to someone as i have tried.
i cant stop myself. we must have been born to be problem solvers, coz i dont have any solution for you. sorry.
