I like to think so, but you can never know until you're in the moment of course.
@BlueVeins are there any early markers?

@TheBlackPowerRanger what do you mean? Historically I usually haven't dealt with pressure well and I have trouble forming connections with people IRL. I do demonstrate altruistic behavior though...
@BlueVeins a way in which maybe one could tell that they are willing to make sacrifices readily for others 🤔
I can't imagine any social science discovering something like that
I think it's one of those in the moment things. I've done it before when I thought someone got stabbed but can I say it'd happen again? Who knows. Your response very much depends on how much you can compose yourself in situations that translate as a crisis. A lot want to help but don't because they don't think they're worthy or capable of helping. Ideally, we all want to.

I used to be like that, up till recently. Not anymore.
But for family, I make an exception.

Those two choices have a very “all or nothing” vibe to them. 😂😂
@MiserableAtBest I'm tryna see which extreme people associate with more 😂
Last time I tried this, errbody picked the middle ._.

Think it's one of those things easy to say but don't know till we're there
It's hard to decide being the one who would be in need if we are talking about a physical situation like a wild animal near me or a huge truck about to hit me. My illness makes me too fragile.
If I could actually make a difference, I think so.
