Does helping others make you upset in a good way ?

I notice that when i help others such as seeing someone who looks hungry or thirsty when i walk into a gas station or someone asking for food & asking them what it is they want and ordering it for them even if it seems like alot unhoused or someone in a time if need i seen on a reddit post and i PM them to help them with alittle amount they may need help with. It really does get to me and not alot gets me i would picture myself as cold hearted, but when it comes to helping other humans i get upset about it after i helped them.

Maybe its because i seen some people help me as a kid when my mom had nothing, or maybe because i just know what its like compeltely to be down and out & needed help and know what its like to be ignored and not have anyone really care & i know what its like to be a stray dog without a family or a wolf cut from the pack. I really dont know why but i know it upsets me and i keep those people in my prayers.

Aren’t we all needy ?whether its a sweet gesture or buying a meal or through a heartwarming message,a gift ,sometimes just listening to us ,sometimes just being silent .
We all need somebody.
Kindness is a natural instinct almost like loving someone.
The way I see it ,I was present at that time and I’ve been chosen to help him or her ,its more adding to my karmic value than to him .So ,even though I become upset at that time of how tragic some lives can be ,it does make me see my own life from a new perspective and how blessed I am that I am sitting on the other side and I pray for them to be blessed equally
