Sometimes, when I'm feeling like shit about myself, I come to /adv/ to help people, and this makes me feel better. Am I being selfish or just a normal person?

Normal, methinks. Helping people always makes me feel good

Normal response to stress.

I'm the same kind of I like making people feel like shit.

I'm dying soon and only have a few months due to bad life choices I've made, so I think it's fair I guess.

When I see people being cunts on here like me, it makes me wonder if they are going through something as well or maybe it's just who they are.

It's a positive thing! But I would like to bring up a couple points that came to mind when I read this post.

1. Some people take stress and either bottle it up or impose it on others. A select few decide to do something positive with it, and you're in that third group, so good job!

2. It's important, when imparting advice, that if you're stressed or upset, you don't allow it to impair your judgement. Example; if you're mad at your friend, don't let that alter the advice you give about friendship.

Thank you, I feel a lot less insecure/suspicious about myself
now.

I'm sorry that you don't have long to live. But as your illness is admittedly due to your own bad decisions, I'm confused as to why it makes you want to make others feel bad. Do you simply want company in your suffering? I'm not trying to judge you, I'm just genuinely curious. My entire life, I've always wanted to help others and make them feel happy. This didn't change even after I went through major depressive disorder. Instead of cursing the world for making my life harder due to brain chemical dysfunction, I use my experience to give (what I hope is) insightful advice to those who also suffer from the disorder. Knowing that I've helped even a small number of people in a small way makes my life feel more enriched.

Hi >>16400277

>>16400252 here.

I guess I'm just a bad person. If I can make others feel as shitty and scared as I can the better. I know plenty of people at meetings I go to who only wish the best for people.

I feel bitter so I wish for others to feel like I to before I reach oblivion.

I dunno if I can explain it, but I am not ready to die.

I try to fix it with drinking and drugs as it doesn't matter if I get messed up all day.

I don't know how to explain this but I am only 27 I am not ready to stop existing.

Sadly doesn't matter how I feel as I fucked myself.

I can at least guarantee I won't die in a hospice I guess.

You're not a bad person. You've made bad decisions and been dealt a shitty hand in life, but you are only human. I doubt you're the only one who has ever acted the way you do when they're close to dying. You clearly and understandably have a lot going on mentally right now.I am glad you are going to group sessions. I do hope one day you can forgive yourself for your own life and finally see that you can do better. You may not have decades of time left, but you can still do a lot to contribute goodness to this world. It feels really good when you do, and it's a long lasting feeling, far better and more genuine than the five minutes of satisfaction one gets when they make someone feel shitty.

I'm the same way, OP. If I don't feel like helping, I'll post my own problems. This is the most honest board on 4chan imo. Sincerity is looked down upon and mocked on other boards. At least you're not one of those assholes.

Selfishness is nearly required for healthy mental state. Also, helping others is hardly selfish.
