    Ok, well i am known as the " shrink".. i got that name becuase alot of my friends come to me for advice and guidence and all. I try my best to help them out, and sometimes i and left with this feeling that i didnt do my best, that i could have helped them more. So i allmost take their problems and turn them into mine, and i get down on my self, and i break down, becuase i feel like i'm not doing my duty as a good friend to help them to meet there needs...

    Am i trying to hard, are they expecting to much out of me.. how can i help and not take it out on me..??

    Hey how are ya? most of my friends are a bit like that they come to me with questions about sex and the body and stuff... Somtimes they make me feel slutty but I am still a virgin even though they aren't anymore. I dont think that you are trying to hard. Think of it another way that they trust you and that they look up to you?

    I'd think of it as... they keep coming back to you for advice don't they? so you must have done a good job. I do that a lot with my friends...but then it sucks, because in return i don't have anyone to listen to my problems...but yeah... i hope that helps yah some!!! =0)

    Well first off I wouldn't make their problems your problems.

    You should care about them and try to help them but dont beat yourself up just because you cant help them the way the want it.
    If their not okay with the advice they give you then they should stop asking you, your telling them what you think and they should appericiate it..

    and if their not getting mad about what you've given them then dont get mad at yourself.. because there okay with your advice, so you should be to.
