Other people’s problems. I myself don’t really have many problems that affect me personally that I have to deal with. I’m a fairly boring-ass person that takes care of shit as it arises, BUT there’s other people in my sphere of existence that all seem to have bigger problems (mostly self-inflicted). And their lives just keep getting worse as time goes on. I know I’m not responsible for their problems, but they’re close enough to my life that I feel the need to help when I can (usually in the form of $$$). If I were in the reverse situation though, if I suddenly had some big financial issue strike me (knock on wood), I’m pretty sure I coudn’t count on any of those people to help me out, I’d be completely SOL. Part of me wishes I could just disappear and go live somewhere as a stranger and lose contact with everybody.

i think that you might wanna find out the reason behind the need of offering to help them. And when you find out, then everything will be just fine.
