I doubt if this is EQ but I don't want others to be hurt, I want them to be okay and a safe distance from me.
Growing up I wanted my sibling to be safe, and I would protect said sibling if I could. I did not want to take care of him, but I did not want anything bad to happen. I wanted to put up a force field long enough for sibling to escape and go flourish someplace not so dangerous. I had the intelligence to figure out how to draw the fire away from him, but not the ability to convince him not to run around me and fling himself at the enemy in an emotional display.
