Why do some people decide to help people no matter what?

Question

Why do people who are rejected in helping others decide to still help?
Lets say break up fights, not judge the judged stereotyped children, be there for people, try to help people as much as they can even when people say they shouldn't, when they know they can' t help everybody but still attempt to? Why do people do this, why should they keep on helping even though its not always their place?

Answer 1

it's in their nature to help people,



also people pleasing (which some, not all helpful people do) is linked to feelings of shame and feeling unworthy so helping others is how they cope as they want compliments of how good they are, how much they matter, how they are loved, etc



they have a need to be told by people how much they matter, it's a sub-con thing

Answer 2

I guess I could count myself as an ex one of those sorts of people.



When I was that person, I would have answered you that I had a genuine unconditional love of all people, wanted to bring out the best in them, and felt a strong motivation if not compulsion to help others. I thought of us as being all one, on a spiritual journey and that it was natural to help others that were stumbling along the way or had otherwise got themselves into trouble.



Now I am not that person, I would say that I was a co-dependent person - unconsciously avoiding my own need for healing by trying to help others, unaware that this was actually a form of control (wanting someone to elevate their life to a level that I wanted them to live it at). I was also unaware that some people cannot be helped = or at least, not at that time or in that way or by that particular person.



But at the end of the day, even if the healers are avoiding their own sickness, they do help some people. And without kindness and chances offered, it would be a pretty grim world. But you cannot help anyone that doesnt want to be helped.

Answer 3

They are nice, that is why.



They are respectful and want to do something good for people. It is always nice to help people once in a while. But not all the TIME. You need to take care of yourself, also. Hope I helped.

Answer 4

Because they want to change the world perhaps.
