Is it normal to care more for others than for myself?

70% Normal
12 Comments

I tend to care more about other people than for myslef. For example, I once was eating at a fast food and there was an employe there who was retarded. My friends started laughing at him an I started to cry because I know he will never be as he should be. Sometimes I get very sad when I see somebody whos obesse and not happy about it and if I were to see that person get healthy Ill get very happy and tear up in happiness. And the list of examples goes on and on.

When I say that I care less for myself I mean like if I have a personal problem, but I have a friend or anybody thats having a problem and needs somebody, I'll ignore what Im going tru and give my total attention to that person. I do things like this all the time.

My point here, is that normal? Does anybody else feel like me?

Is It Normal?

    you should do a personal trainers course and then train people to be fit and healthy. you will get a lot of satisfaction out of that and what you teach them, they will pass on to their family and friends. so you will be helping a lot of people.

    I totally get where you're coming from!! Once there was this homeless guy outside in our neighborhood, begging people for food, anything at all they may have, old food, whatever, and I felt so sad because I had virtually nothing in my house at that time (i had just returned from a two month vacation) and I just started crying like crazy, feeling so sad, it transcends words. :( I hope he got something to eat.
    Anyway -- you're normal. :) <3

    Would like to state that the lady or gentleman that made this topic is totally PERFECT in my eyes. You do not see now-a-days people who think of the welfare of others first over themselves. It is to me, a GIFT FROM OUR SAVIOUR. I do not want to boast myself up, but I am the same way as the person who made this thread. Others are far and a way first to me. SO MY FRIEND YOU ARE PERFECT and stay that way please.
