Ok, so here's what I've decided. Just now.
If you have something that's upsetting you or something going wrong, I am more than willing to listen to you and offer advice. Or just listen. Or whatever. I love helping people, but I have to understand people don't always want help from me.
What I think messes me up is when I've helped someone and then they stop wanting help from me. But I have to just accept that. It's not my place and I've been acting like a spoiled child that had his toys taken away from him. So I sincerely apologize to anyone I've ever pressed to "tell me what's wrong" or anything like that.
If you want to talk to me, by all means, do so. But I'm not going to ask anymore. I've pissed off enough people to finally realize this is a bad idea.

I totally understand what you mean. It's a hard lesson to learn. But don't stop offering to help people, you can still show that you care. Just remember that you need to drop the issue if the decline your offer, but let them know you're willing to listen should they want to talk.
