Is it normal to get random moods that i don't want to help anyone?

Sometimes I'll get in a random mood where I just hate everyone with problems and I don't want to help anyone.

It's like a "Eff that it's not my problem!" type of mood. I think it may be when I'm just overwhelmed with people complaining to me, or have enough of my own personal problems on my mind.

A lot of my friends and family, and random people, come to me for advice about random things. And certain times I'll just shut out their problems and wonder why they think it's my responsibility to take care of it.

I love helping people, giving advice and all. I love this site, and I love commenting to help people out. But sometimes even here, I will read a few stories and think GAWD this is not my problem!

It doesn't happen a LOT, but it has happened multiple times. Is it normal to get like that? Does it happen to anyone else?

    Sometimes I get tired of people having problems that they seem to be too stupid or lazy to take the initiative to solve themselves.

    When people come to me for advice, I do what I can. But if they continue to come back to me rehashing the same problem over and over again, completely disregarding my advice, or suggestions that I gave the first time around..., there's really only so much one can do. After going in circles with them for a while, I wash my hands of the situation.

    So yeah, sometimes I have an attitude like that too. I think its because, after a while you get sick of people not really listening, or for whatever reason(usually denial), not bothering to take your advice. I'm kind of going through it right now with somebody and its driving me crazy.

    Yes, I push people away all the time by being a dick. But usually I'm a pretty nice guy.

    I guess it's just my way of keeping people at arms length.

    That said I've ruined a lot of relationships with this mindset.

    Yeah sometimes I feel like that too but I don't let people know. I just make as if I don't know what to tell and the times I'm on IIN and fel like that I just don't comment.

    Yes people have moods. My personal favorite is the mood. Saying mood too many times makes me think of cows.

            This makes me think of those birds that eat bugs off cow's backs.
