i want to lay this out as plainly as possible to you,i am wondering if theres anything i'm not understanding about my behavior. i am a person who likes very much to engage people in conversations about myself(if they're interested,well,are you?) but primarily about them and they're situations/problems. i have no training whatsoever,and yet seem to actually help people.i get a lot of fullfillment out of doing this and it never gets me down listening to people.i believe that doing this is using the best aspects of who i am and that,well,i was born to do it.here are some of my questions, how much of what i do is motivated by a need i have for attention? or something other than a genuine concern for people. i have my own issues that i deal with,is this my way of avoiding them or stuffing them? i wonder if i'm suffering from some variety of mania, i mean look at me,i'm here,doing this,why? its important that i feel as though my ducks are in a row,i would'nt want to counsel anyone if i thought i was really not in a position to truly help them. here on this site i know that there are people who understand what i mean,and might have an opinion about what i've said at any rate,thank you for reading this.
