Is it normal i fix things even when there is no reason to?

I tend to fix things even if there is nothing for me to get from it. Like every-time I see something in a store in the wrong shelf I place it on the correct shelf, if I see carts in the parking lot I put it in the correct spot, if I see the niahbors trash can knocked over(Which the trash truck always does) I have to pick it up and fix it.

    I see no problem with it if you're already at the place, like happening to walk over a parking lot and take the cart to the correct spot at the same time. But if you run around the store for half an hour just to put things were they belong, I think it's a problem.
    I can relate to you though.

    • No, I also use to do this at my old job. It was technically my job but I would be doing it after hours. My job coach yelled at me telling me I not suppose to do stuff when I am off the clock. I use to be a store stocker.

        Not necessarily, I do things like that sometimes, but I've learned to control the urges. I feel like you should catch yourself and try and force yourself not to do it early on, so that it doesn't become a bigger obession.

        I think if you are aware that you are doing it, and make an effort to stop, then you will be just fine. :) But you have to ask yourself why you are doing it in the first place. If you are doing it to be a good person and to save someone else the work of fixing the issue, then by all means. But be aware of your feelings while you are fixing the object. Are you anxious? Imagine in your head if you were to NOT fix it. How uncomfortable would that make you?

        • Why would I stop it? You are just asking me to be a terrible person. Its not necessarily but its not necessarily negative. Its more helpful, but no one is required to help when they are not asked. I do it since I see its wrong and I need to fix it. It corn goes in ail 8, it belongs in ail 8.

            It all depends on your motivation. I'm not asking you to be a terrible person. As I said above, if your motive is to help then you should go for it. You know yourself better than I do... Why do you think you are doing it? For control? Or to help?

              If this is strictly in situations where you are trying to help others that is totally cool, but does it happen outside of that?
