Im happy to say i don’t understand that, and never will. On the other hand, some people just don’t want to draw attention towards themselves by helping others or have the need to fix and re-assemble themselves before working with someone else’s broken peices | |

282 QA Reputation0 | Itheren said 9 years, 5 months ago: I’m shy of helping others because I don’t think they want MY help. It’s not because I don’t like them or that I don’t want to but because I don’t have anything to offer. My help could easily make the situation worse or not have any effect and be a waste of time. Sometimes I just think that no one really needs help. | |

137 QA Reputation0 | El said 9 years, 4 months ago: One reason that I’ve noticed is that, most of the time, I’m not 100% sure what I’m doing and it causes a pretty daunting fear of trying to help and failing. With that, it’s like why even bother – someone else surely can do better plus you’ll just be judged anyway. | |
