Whenever you choose! If you're not happy yourself maybe it's time to take a break from worrying about everyone else and focus on yourself for a little bit. You always come before everyone else.

Whenever! It's really important that you take care of yourself, and you won't be able to make other people happy if you wear yourself into the ground. You're not obliged to be anyone's counsellor, you help them out of the kindness of your heart and they'll be grateful for that!! But you're not obligated to help.

If you put your mind to it, any time you'd like! Really though, now is a time to figure out what makes you happy, yes you! Then when others ask (or imply) for you to do something - you'll know, 'yes that would make me happy to' or 'sorry I can't do that for you right now' (because it would make you yourself less happy or unhappy).

While you don't want to start making people unhappy. you need to start looking out for yourself. Without being rude let people know that you need to take sometime for yourself or that you wont be able to do what ever they ask all the time

When you decide to. It's not something some one else will decide for you. You have to make a choice. If you are tired of just pleading people just take a break and do something nice for yourself. I'm assuming that this is coming from someone who does things for others or someone but never get appreciated for them or is taken for granted. You have to keep such people out of your life and look at all the lovely people who actually care for you. Appreciate their presence and love yourself first and take good care of yourself no matter what. And always remember that no matter how difficult things are, but there's always a way to overcome that situation. You deserve so much better! Be happy and make Someone's day today just by showing that you care for them!:)

Never. But the priority that we are happy. We can't make anyone else happy unless we are. Once our happiness starts to fade it's time to focus our attention on us and not others. Once we are doing good then and only then can we help others

I'm not saying be selfish but you need to make yourself happy first before you can make others happy. If you spend your whole time making others happy then you end up miserable in return. Don't be afraid to say no and take care of yourself, your mental well being is very important.

When you can don't feel up to it. It really depends on how much they need to. You don't owe people support and you should never trapped yourself in a position because of that.

When you learn you're able to say no now and then and you don't have to say yes to everyone. You deserve happiness, and in this life time, it's okay to do for you when you need to... But never lose the caring and compassionate side.
