Frankly, dude, it sounds like you're either suffering from Saviour Complex or at risk of falling into that thought-pattern. A person with Saviour Complex has a strong tendency to seek out those who desperately need help and to assist them, often sacrificing their own needs for these people. If you feel like you're surrounded by people who need your help, that probably isn't due to random chance or because the entire world is falling to shit, but because something inside you makes you choose those people as your friends.
It's noble to care about the well-being of others and to want to help them, but they are responsible for sorting out their problems. Some people are leeches and users, and people like that can be very good at spotting those who are willing to let themselves be used. Some people are just generally useless at dealing with life because someone else has always taken on the responsibility of caring for them, and the only way they'll ever progress to the full emotional maturity and independence of adulthood is if they're forced to do so.
I suspect you get an ego-boost from feeling needed, but your primary focus should be on improving your own life rather than worrying about how others are coping.
Is it normal everyone is struggling?
