Do you like to help people?

Do you like to help people
or are you only concerned about yourself and don't care about other people?

I'm kind of half way. I help people all the time, like holding doors open, telling directions if asked, advice, etc. I won't go completely out of my way, though. If my schedule allows it, I will help people to my full extent, but if not, there's nothing I can do.

I am a pushover (yes I know it) and go out of my way to help people. Something I really have to work on, because I usually get the short end of the stick >:(

I help everyone. I think I help people way too much. I don't think I've ever refused to help someone.

I was having this discussion the other day with a friend of mine but it was along the lines of helping a musician by buying their CD (or whatever you do for them).

Short: He didn't care while I wanted to go out and support what I believed in ... it was me helping.

My Analysis: I think it boils down to my willingness to go above and beyond and help people while for himself, he's the opposite and is private and would like to keep moving on his way.

I'm not better than him, he's not any better than me ... just a different outlook on life I imagine.

I help people all the time. I'm here aren't I :cheesygri

I will gladly help someone, but will wait until the person that needs help, asks for it. I myself am a wheelchair user and can't stand it when people try to help me with things I don't need help with.

Sometimes I help people; sometimes I don't bother.

Some people are not worth helping (example- bitchy people).

Sidenote:
sometimes people will go up to you asking for help but they are just scam artists / pickpockets who are talking to you to distract you while they steal your stuff. I was going to post a link about a bunch of pickpockets at Toronto airport but I couldn't find the link.

[cheapmeister]

Yes I do but not all of them unless they deserve the help.

[N1Hawk]

Yes I help people, like in Car Accidents on the side of the 401, 404 etc etc if i don't put my own life in danger I will. I help people with love advice mostly friends and will help stangers in need of directions ETC ETC.

goes with my mood. In general I help people. And more often than not, I help women more than men. if I see a guy drop a bunch of papers, I probably wouldn't bend over to help pick them up. But if I saw a woman drop papers, I'd probably lend a hand.

if I'm on the bus, I'll give my seat to anyone who's elderly, or carrying a child.

However, I could never be in the service industry. I have a low tolerance for dealing with moron's and idiots

-1 for not having the option of "I absolutely HATE helping people, but I always help them anyway!" :cheesygri

Yes. In fact, I'me kind of the go-to-girl whenever anyone has a problem. With complete strangers, I take great pleasure in lending a hand if needed. I once took a complete stranger (an elderly women) to the hospital emerg from a pharmacy cuz she had taken her BP on one of those machines and it was extremely high, she was scared, and even the pharmacist said it shouldn't wait till the next day when she could get to her own doctor. And stayed with her for 2 hours till her family could be contacted and get there.

My original plan was to stop in just to buy a bottle of water before I went rollerblading...that plan went by the wayside, but was welllll worth it.

It also boils down to the capability to assist/help that person in need.

[dairymandip]

Yup, I always help people, whether its something as small as giving directions, or helping a blind person cross the street.
