Does anyone else feel the need to help others? I feel almost compelled to help or chip in with any 2 cents that may help someone with something they asked even if I dont know anything about what they are talking about.

Edit: spelling and rephrase.

I feel genuinely awful when I cant help someone.

Or if I am walking some where and someone was asking for something or I see someone needs help I also start feeling heavy to where it is hard for me to move past someone.

I pass homeless people on the road while I’m in traffic and just feel terrible because I have nothing to offer them.

Or with my work if I can’t solve an issue it affects me greatly.
