Is it a bad thing to be always thinking of others and not myself?
Answer:
It's not bad to want to help others, but it is unhealthy to ignore your own needs. If you don't properly take care of your own well being, you're in no real place to help others in the long run. Take care sweetie :)
It is never bad to think of someone else than yourself.That is what God wants you to do.Help others.But never forget about yourself.God will bless you in the mean time.You will definitely go to heaven.
not at all. especially when you help others. but don't completely ignore yourself. take care of yourself too. don't forget. but thats good you think of others
if you not a christian you need to be as your a great person
i used to think it was a sign of a good person to always be saving the world... (cause ive been that person) but then i realize we do it for the wrong reasons sometimes.. perhaps to get approval, to save ourselves, to escape ourselves, to hide our insecurities, etc. Why else would we choose to always put ourselves last... do we think we are not worthy?? I have always had a natural desire to help others and still do - now i just realize that I come first. I will not give up my all for someone else. I will live my life for me and then if i am presented with an opportunity to help others it is icing on the cake of life!! Good Luck!!
This is a deep question, far deeper than most would think.
In today's society, many do not even consider others, let alone give of themselves when others are needy. This is called selfishness. You seem to be lacking that trait. I'm not saying "good for you" because at times it leaves you wanting and needing yourself. This is not good either.
I have a friend who cannot differentiate, even as you do, until it's too late and is left with nothing for herself when she is really in need. This brings her to my door and to the doors of others for help. This woman cannot be taught to consider herself first. She has even had psychiatric help to try to end her problem. And it all started out with her need to help others who are in the same shape. Now she cannot be helped. It's been called "need affiliation". We all have it in some way but not to this extent and, hopefully, you will learn to control it so that it does not overwhelm you for the rest of your life.
God does not expect you to do without the things that He gives you. You may share it in time of need with others, however, He gives it to you in amounts for your needs. If these other persons have continual needs, then it is up to them to learn the ways that they can fulfill these needs. It's not up to you to be continually giving up what you have in order to enable others not to learn. Their needs could be a product of either overindulgence or entemperance.
You need to take care of yourself and your family first, then if there is something left, it can be shared.
Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you - and that does not mean giving it all up, for that is not what they've done to themselves when they come to your door.
If you continue to do without, you will continue to do without for the rest of your life.
In a relationship, it can be. It can be what we call "co-dependant". A classic example would be staying in an abusive relationship because you don't want to hurt the person you are with.
