It sounds like you are a people person and like to help people with their problems, so the jobs that immediately stand out to me are lawyer, counselor, psychiatrist, teacher or anything that helps people with the difficulties they are going through. Keep doing that and thinking about the problems you like to solve and what makes you passionate - sometimes it's relationship issues, other times it's self-image issues or it can be social issues like social justice or human rights. That will help you understand if you like helping people with personal problems or bigger, social concerns.

Firstly, it's a good thing that you already recognized your strengths
To guide you better though, I would like you to answer this questions personally..
1. When you give
advice, what do people usually come to you about? ( School stress? Life decisions? Relationships? Financial advice ?
2. When you're with friends, are you the one talking or listening? Do you feel energized after?
3. When you're alone, what are you doing?( Reading ? Creating? )
4. What do you enjoy most — the listening, solving the problem, or seeing them feel better?
Your answers will show if you lean more toward coaching, counseling, teaching, or community work — because "good at advice" can go in a few different directions.
