I have a natural tendency to try to give a hand to people who may share similar problems than me but what if you make a mistake and mislead someone or makes him more confused? or what you mentioned, you say something that hurt his feelings?
Another aspect that makes me give a step back is the idea that other people are gonna do the same as me but much more better.
For example, a week ago, I was gonna send a pm to lady who was struggling with abuse. I felt lots of empathy and I wanted her to know she wasn’t alone. When I was about to send the pm I abandoned the idea because I thought: What the h. I’m doing? Sure, many more people probably have sent her pms and sure they are gonna be more helpful than me.
There are moments I feel kind of confidence and I seem as a different person but they are so few moments.
