Most people are caught up in their own drama and ask for help and guidance from those they trust, hell, they don't even have to trust you, some will just outright use you. Those that don't reciprocate and refuse to listen to your troubles aren't worth your time, especially if you've helped them before. There will always be someone out there that will listen and help. Forget about all the nay-say'ers and find someone who shares your point of view. If you're lucky, that person will find you. It just takes time like everything else.
