Self love is overrated. What was the last thing you did for your community?

I've given clothes and other things to charity. With my firstborn we ended up ordering two cotbeds but instead of getting a refund or selling it I donated it to a charity for babies. Also had a spare moses basket/bassinet that I donated...ordered this extra stuff because I was staying with my mom and also staying at my boyfriend's. She was dying of cancer when my son was born and so for the last month of her life I moved back in. I gave all my son’s baby clothes to charity last year and there was a whole lot of them. Gave away blankets and other things too.

I'd really like to start helping poor families with young kids, and I've also thought about volunteering to talk to people facing death due to cancer or whatever. The latter would probably be very depressing though.

People can work their own stuff out beyond that.

I volunteer at a county food bank distribution to over 150 families twice a month. I've been doing it for seven or eight years.

How is life holding that cynical view of people? Me? Clothing donations, charitable donations etc etc.

I graced them with my glorious presence

Self love is very much underrated. If more people had it and practiced it, we'd not be in such a shitstorm of hate today.

Online community also has people in it and they're to be valued just as much as offline people in that respect. What I do out of service is between me and the receiver.

You’d lose. I’ve been a volunteer and community activist for the past 45 years.

I have coordinated an artist reception last month. I attended several city commission meetings to speak on behalf of my neighborhood. I am on a Parks commission and voted to keep grass on the school playgrounds (not artificial turf). I am planning a National Night Out event for my neighborhood and a Monarch Butterfly way station event. I really enjoy doing all this and want to do as much as I can.

I have done nothing for my community. I am not out to help them. I am out to handle my responsibilities and look out for my family and loved ones. Thats it

It seems like a self centered type of narcissism.

I helped out with rescuing some animals and taking to animal shelter. Not the first time I've done it.
