Is it normal that i have the urge to nurture everyone?

When my friends hurt themselves I have the overwhelming urge to nurse them back to heatlh. If someone breaks their arm over the weekend i'm upset that i wasn't there to help. I read first aid books in my spare time. if someone happens to mention that they have asthma or that they're anemic the urge kicks in. is that wierd?

    Its common, especially if you're a female. Most of us have a very strong nurturing instict. I think its normal & commendable actually. Just don't go overboard with it, it can be confused as smothering & get annoying. :)

  • Some people are just born to help people. That's normal but don't let it interfere with your life.
