I am thinking of volunteering - there must be some local agency helping those people. There is a test for narcissism on this site. To be normal, you need to score - if I recall correctly, 12-15 points. Not zero. This is called "healthy narcissism". You lack that. This might be a good topic for therapy, because some trauma in the past might have caused you to believe that you are not worth your own attention. You ended up with a bleeding heart and that is it. Or, maybe it is not trauma, maybe it is just genetic. Overabundance of empathy.

Just a little tidbit here, jumping in, but if I ever meet me probably unrealistic goals for being a huge musician and making millions of dollars, I want to build a homeless shelter for mentally ill with some doctors and therapists and medications and showers and things like that. Not even sure if THAT is realistic, but it is something I would like to do before I die.
