Do you enjoy helping others?

[jennifer_bloom]

I do it cause I want to look good

I do it cause I’m worried about them

I do it cause I have to

I do it cause I want a reward

I do it cause it makes me happy

I do not help others

[SweetFyter]

D & E could be the same if making people happy is like a reward to you, right? But like sometimes our church will do a project for someone in the area - especially older people who maybe don't have family around. The men and boys will make or repair ramps or broken windows and such, and we will paint or maybe do stuff in the yard (and there's always lots of food brought to these things). And when you see the looks on the peoples' faces it's just like a reward, I think.

@jennifer_bloom Thank you for my MHO, too. I'm still trying to figure out how to give those. I've only seen the option once. I'll figure it out, eventually. And this was a good poll, too! It's good to remind us that the world doesn't revolve around us, alone. We're all here for a reason.

[Apulu_3]

Yeah it feels satisfying to help someone. I can't tolerate sadness around me so it makes me a lot happy knowing that I made someone happy.

[Apulu_3]

Thanks for the MHO 😀

- I do it because I'm a helpful person by nature...

- I do it because I can, because it's the right thing to do and because it feels good to help and also can make me happy...

- I do it because I grew up with a big family and also crowded neighborhood, which always had that sense of community... you just help one another if you can, this is how I was raised

in general I would say that yes, I enjoy being helpful... but sometimes is not something to enjoy... sometimes it's a very problematic situation, risky, dangerous and even tragic so there's no joy to get out of it but still, you help out your fellow men and then hopefully others will come to you when you're the one in need

[HighlyVolatile]

I'm skewed towards the empathetic end of the spectrum so if someone is suffering, I suffer in a way. It's so extreme that I could be laughing and having a great time at a birthday party and if I just spot one stranger out of the corner of my eye looking very upset, it makes me very upset.

Then my friends ask me what's wrong, I point to the stranger, and they think I'm crazy for letting a complete stranger's feelings get to me. Yet I can't quite help it, and frequently I will abandon my friends for a moment and try to cheer the stranger up and invite them to join us. I don't always succeed and I have learned to at least try not to care too much if they reject my efforts.

So from my perspective, helping other people is like helping myself. I think the closest approximation among your choices is that it makes me happy, but perhaps more accurately, it's like it makes me stop feeling other people's suffering if I can get them to cease suffering.

I don't think its any of those answers , I do it and I do it all the time , but I do it because I think its the correct think to do , I don't need thanks or reward , my reward is seeing the happiness of the person involved.

[stark04]

I chose it makes me happy but I do it because I always have helped them, that's how my mum and dad raised me. I don't feel good or bad while helping them nor do I want reward or praises, I just help them because they need it. 🙂

[AmericanxIdiot05]

Absolutely, it makes me feel good about my self to know I helped someone and I could have made their day. Plus I actually feel like I am doing something with my life

[EmbraceThePain]

I do.


I don’t do it for a reward nor do I expect one.


It’s the actual rightness or morality of the act in and of itself that is why I do it.

[rabbitzzz]

I have always helped others through my own shit.
But I want to upgrade now. I want to help others through others shit like politicians. They use others labor and money and take all the credit themselves.

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

I door because it makes me happy. After all, it is my job. If I didn’t love helping people, I wouldn’t do work that involves helping people.

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Do it*

[GlassTop]

I wish people would be smarter about helping people. Stop giving them cash to feed their drug addictions. Give them only food, physical food that they can’t turn a profit to buy more drugs. Realize that most homeless are homeless because of drug addiction, which also caused them to go mental. They get government assistance and food stamps. They take that assistance and sell it for drugs. Then they pan handle until they have enough money for more drugs.

[IveGotNoName]

b, e and d I guess. Seeing someone struggling makes me worry about them, helping them makes me happy, being happy is my reward.

[andreasderjuengere]

Enjoy? Not really. I just do it because I see it as a moral obligation.
Where - I try to NOT help the undeserving.

[elizamichale1]

Yes i love helping others n only because it makes them and me happy

[TacosRAwesome]

I help others willingly when asked but don't go out of my way to help others.

[Medhat-M]

Yeah I love seeing good people being happy.. It's even better if it's because of me

[alance99]

Yes it gives me satisfaction that i have a skill which can help other and i strongly believe in karma

[AndrésC64]

I do it because I worry about them and because it feels good to help someone.

[SignedAutographs]

I question a lot of what's being asked of me but for the most part I do

[DangItBobby]

Yeah If they ask for it and if I’m able to help them within my means

[Lisaf7ffhfh]

**I meant to write; "I do it to help others"

[Agape93]

Yeap if I care about them

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

It makes me happy to help others on here

[skyeee_]

[Marhaban-1]

I like to help people if it's for the greater good

[SecretGardenBlood65]

helping others is our human duty

[Alexis_1996]
