No, Strength can never be a weakness. The two words are not contrary just for fun.
Your weakness is the lie you are telling yourself and the others. If you are tired hearing problems of others, be polite, but let them know. They will understand you are not ok yourself. People that like you will ask what wrong with you. Those who have been using you, will be disappointed, will run away, and will hate you. But nothing is better than sorting out good from bad friends. Good friends stand with you in the adversity; bad friends are those that will be fighting you in the same situation.

Best
Tom

I have a similar issue... I solve a lot of my issues without help to a point where I can't relate to those who struggle with them. Normally this has me come off as an a**hole specifically when they aren't looking for my help and are unknowingly looking for empathy.

A lot of people who think they are great at being social are really just very lucky that they happen to be very normal. The moment they encounter someone who isn't on their wave length or experience the world the way they do they don't know how to operate. Normally they "intelligently" disguise this by making the other person out to be the problem.
