It's easier to rescue others because we see them more clearly than we see ourselves sometimes. Also, we may feel like they deserve to be rescued where we don't necessarily feel the same way about ourselves.

Holy hell, dude! You do know that you could totally talk my ear off for an hour and it wouldn't cost you nearly that much. Of course, I'll just throw fortune cookie sayings your way as you walk out the door feeling all cleansed and stuff, but still...

Good point.
We know how it feels to need rescuing. So we help those who need it. Sucks to be in a bad situation.
@Hutchman: You live and learn. Part of life. No one is perfect. I just go with it.
But I take it from others. If there's room for improvement. I try to. Gotta really look at the whole picture.
Am I right or am I wrong?

I agree my friend. But dont you get to the point of saying I just want to be exactly as I am?
@Hutchman: Not really. There will always be room for improvement. 😊 But to each his own.

I had that time too when I wanted to help others but not myself. I guess it just feels easier to fix others but not yourself.

You are lucky! How do you find the balance?

Long story man... :-)
Hutchman · 41-45, M
Haha, yeah it takes a long story to get to that point I think. I am midst my own story as you know.

Yes! Exactly

we? i don't.. some people don't want to be rescued, but to drag people down with them..
Hutchman · 41-45, M
Maybe I should've used "I". Even though they don't want to be rescued do you still try?
icyreb · M
@Hutchman: nope. you can't help someone who doesn't want help.. why spin my wheels trying...
Hutchman · 41-45, M
Yeah at some point you have to let that go and let them be
we do? wouldn't know how. i guess bc empathy
Hutchman · 41-45, M
Someone else said the same thing. Maybe I should've used "I" . you don't feel you can help others? How come?

Selfishness.
Hutchman · 41-45, M
Against ourselves?
