[frappetique]

I realize that most of the time when I decided to give help some complete stranger or so, were the times when I feel the absolute worst about myself which is conflicting, am I doing nice things so I can feel better about myself? I mean, I feel like doing these are just… a way to help myself rather than help other people - some twisted sense of self

Whatever your intentions are, you're still helping someone at the end of the day so that's all that matters really.

^This. Some people feel good about helping others. I don't think that makes their help any less good.

that kind of feeling is hman, i mean if you help people somehow you also wanna be helped, and doing things who makes you feel better isn't bad so i don't think you should blame yourself :)

In helping people, you are giving yourself an intrinsic reward, so don't feel bad. Some people do help others to make themselves feel good, and well, there's nothing wrong with making yourself feel good and helping others!
