How do you feel when you help others

I always feel better about myself when I am able to help others. Whether it be someone that I know or a complete stranger, just the act of reaching out to help someone in need makes me feel good. When it comes to people who I know, sometimes, they begin to try to take advantage of my good heart and will continually ask for help in one way or another. For myself, and my husband, we have had to really stopa nd take a looka t some of the situations with those that we know before lending a hand. If someone is continually asking for our help, yet doing little to nothing in attempt to better their situation, after a while, we tend to stop helping that person or ppersons. When it comes to helping a complete stranger, I have learned to follow my instincts. Unfortunately, there are those people in the world who will take advantage of the kindness of others. More often than not, I will give the person the benefit of the doubt, but once in a while, I just get that instinctive feeliing that the person is justs out to scam others and I will not help them. Over all, my wntire family is one that tries to do what we can to help others out, expecting nothing in return, just for the sake of doing it and feeling good about being able to help.

i love helping people. its in my nature i guess you could say. i even tend to want to help people whe i know i need help myself. like right now, our money is tight. we dont get assistance from the government or anything like that to help with food, so even our food is tight. i ran into an old friend one day. they asked me to come over. Keep in mind the friend is my moms age with 3 kids age 15, 13 and 4. i went in and i asked for something to drink. she told me i can go in the fridge and get whatever i wanted. i opened the fridge. Bare. completely. they only had a jug of koolaid and 2 bananas in there. i opened the freezer and nothing was in there but filled ice trays. i went home and grabbed food. i cooked dinner for their family of 5 and my family of 4 that night. we tend to have dinner night 2 or 3 times a week now. i bring something she brings something. its either pick meat or veges. ill buy the meat if you buy the veges and we just take turns. i feel a lot better doing that. i know that its helping that family out a lot. its cutting our food down a lot but i know they need it more than us, so i tend to lend a helping hand even if i cant really afford it.

It's a good feeling because I know that I have made their lives that much better. I like helping people.

Hi Kartik, I believe that being able to help anyone is the greatest gift of God and only a few chosen are bestowed with this. I try to help others whenever I can but I prefer to stay away from monetary help to unknown people. Maybe because I am low on finances or have other commitments (that also fulfill my helping some stranger in her education) but I am not into monetary help now. It is a really satisfying feeling that you can help someone. Cheers, theSids.

It feels good to help others. If possible, i will help out in any little ways i can. Giving up of seats to priority personnels is the very basic thing one should do. I would say i'm one who keeps a lookout more for the elderly over disabled people and kids. Kids are my least concerned because that's the time for them to learn nad it's better to learn things via the hard way. For disable people, some of them do not want to be helped because they see themselves being belittled by abled people like us. As for elderly, with their old age, they tend to be quite fragile and slow, not much strength and so i will help them whenever i see them, be it in need of help or not.

It makes me feel great knowing that i have done something,for another person, no matter what it is.I think that life would be soo much nicer if we were all to help people rather than watching some people struggle along without the hel[p that they need.I have helped people that i know as well as people that i do not know, it made me feel good and like i have a perpose.

We were all created with an ability to help others and if we do that, we feel good. There are so many ways to help others and even when we are materially poor, we can do a lot.

I feel good about myself when i am helping others. there is no better feeling in the world. You may be helping someone in need. Nothing can be better for your life than that.

For me it is good and the peace to everyone is there.

Hi kartiknaiduk! I feel good if I can be of a help to anyone. The feeling of being a mystery helper would have been greater. Helping should come from the heart without asking anything in return.

That is right,the feeling is very good when i help other people around me.Helping people is a good action in daily life.It can bring happiness to us and the people who were helped by us.It is an action to make all of us feeling warm.

It makes me feel good too. I would want others to help me if I ever need help, so I try to do the same to other people when I have the chance, simple as that!

Until this time, I have not helped many people. But when I can help any persons, my feeling is very happy.

of course it feels very good! i have helped not so many people yet i will never forget the feeling. i can't help but smile and feels like my heart is being lifted. it is just so good.

Its nice to help someone. It feels good to help somebody.

It makes me feel good to help others, whether that person is a friend, a family, a stranger or a foe. It's an instinct or natural for us to help if we see someone who needs help. If you try to ignore instead of helping someone, you won't have inner peace.
