I’m a school student who loves to help people. But no one helps me when I need it. I get a bit depressed because of this. What should I do?
Being altruistic is healthy and it is good to continue helping others. Of course, you must take care to not get exploited because of this. Be aware of the situations when you help others. You definitely gain happiness and satisfaction when you help others. But it is also necessary to understand that we must not help others simply because we expect the same from them. When we have expectations, there are chances for disappointments too. Being assertive is necessary to reduce disappointments. It is okay to ask for help rather than expecting others to understand our situation and act accordingly. It is human to get disappointed, but we can find ways to avoid it as well. Looking at things from a different perspective will help you tackle such situations better. Life is a learning process and we have the freedom to live in a healthy manner.
