Do they have a cure for this one?

Helping too much? At a certain point in my life (ok, when I was younger) I was very content with just letting people get on with their lives without my interference; I would not offer my help unless asked and I was a champion at minding my own business. These days, well, lets just say, I have a too-eager-to-help-syndrome. I am unstoppable. Whether my help is being asked for or not, I’m your Superman. This is a 180 degree turn from what I was and I don't know what brought it about. And this is all subconscious behaviour, I burst out my willingness to assist before I can rationalise what the consequences for me will be. Of course there is nothing wrong with lending a hand to others, just that to me this is strange behavious because I have always been self-sufficient and therefore always expected everybody else to be too. I am still self-sufficient but have added to that an abnormal enthusiasm to rescue others. If I were to be honest with myself, I don’t like it – for the simple reason being that there is little appreciation on the receiving end. One would of course argue that if I were sincerely trying to help others, gratitude would be the least of my worries. Nonsense. As an example, try sending money to your little sister/ brother and not get any sort of acknowledgement and see how it feels. Not cool. Of course I will not stop helping others out but I should probably be a little bit more discerning about it, and not offer my help all willy nilly. Everything in moderation. Except shoes and handbags.
