A person may be described as unhelpable in a few situations. Including but not limited to.

1 – Stress is greater than the emotional reward

What should be a simple matter of a bit of advice turns into a lengthy explanation of the entire subject, in the end you’ve given out all you know on the subject and still the Unhelpable’s problem isn’t solved. It is very frustrating as you’ve perhaps helped lots of other people before with exactly the same problem.
