Helping People

Question

I genuinely enjoy helping people whether its in the workplace or in my personal life. It makes me happy. It bothers me how these days no one helps out like this. Most people only help you if it benefits them in some way not because they truly want to help. Thoughts on this??

I'm the same when it comes to homeless people it doesn't matter what I'm doing if I see a person that is generally struggling and is actually wanting to get help I will help them even if it is getting them food and something to drink not alcohol or of course or just when I go shopping there is a collection of homeless people outside of my supermarket that whenever I go shopping I always get money out for the trolley and whatever change I have remaining I always share it between the homeless people surrounding and they know me and they're actually really friendly to me

I am the same way. I have always been one to help to the best of my abilities no matter who. Friens, family,  the workplace, even an innocent bystander at times. It's sad because the world has changed so much in so many ways. This day in time it seems as though alot of people are out for themselves and if it benefits them in any way they're there, but if not, you won't so much as get a call from them to say hey. I'm not bitter by it, but also know my boundaries and to not let anyone use me because they think they can get over on me. When someone needs me I'm always there, but let me need some help and look up around me there isn't anyone around.

Nghiep · Answer

This type of behavior seems to be the most common type in the world. It is also reinforced by society. There are a few that are naturally wired opposed to thiss. I applaud your natural wiring and your bringing this up. It just might open someone else's eyes.

Angie · Answer

I am one of those people who will help if I'm able to and even if it's just to listen.
Because I want to help, people often take advantage and when asked by others "why do I bother?" I just say that I have a kind heart, am able to empathise and don't like to see people struggle. I never expect anything in return. The knowledge that I've helped someone in need is all my heart desires. 
However, in this society, helping strangers can be concidered dangerous and especially a female. So though I want to help, sometimes I can't because it may put me in danger. Its a fight to want to help and the need for safety.

Wow you're so nice and humble ...

soulcalibur1 · Answer

True. Is it weird for me to say I don't like when people wanna help me? I hate it when people help you with the expectation that you owe them something in return. It's nice when someone wants to help out of kindness but those people are far and few these days.

Aleks · Answer

I like helping people at work, especially the newbies, who are still fresh in my profession, cause I know first hand how hard it is when you don't know things, I had to learn most by myself, that's why I try to help...

The Man · Answer

I try to avoid generalizing what most do, but when the internet has people showcasing their acts of "help" for clout, it blurs the lines on whether helping your fellows is a showcase, or sincere. Helping others feels good, but I think true help is never broadcast by the person offering it ...because, you know, they should be busy helping and not concerned that everyone knows it.
