I always interfere with stuff that is none of my business.

Post Reply New Topic

Whenever I think there is a fight or a bad situation going on, even if it concerns total strangers, I always feel the need to interfere. It's probably a misplaced sense of justice or injustice that makes me do that. I dont seem to be able to keep my screaming big mouth shut in those kinds of situations. No one benefits from my behaviour. The only thing I seem to be doing is make matters even worse. People must think I am a complete nutter when I do stuff like that which is partially true. The problem is that it happens before I even know what I am doing. Is there anyone else here who has a similar problem?

I should really stop posting here and try to relax and get some sleep because I'm killling almost every thread on this forum.

By now!

I try to remove myself from whatever is going on at the very earliest indication that something might go amiss. If I wait just a few seconds too long then it can be too late.

Well you know the old mental hospital joke. It was made to help people learn how to mind their own business.

Do you mean that you steam in and try to sort it all out but you make things worse?

If so then no I don't do that.

I have done it only once when I was younger.

There was a man who lived near me and he was a bit of a loner and an eccentric. Anyway all the kids would throw things at him and chase him and stuff. It was really horrible.
Anywaw one day I just took it upon myself to chase them away. I must have scared them because they never came back.
I never spoke to the man, I don't even know his name but I did notice that after a while he started to make friends with people.
Anyway that's that.
I've never told anyone that story before. I hope this was an appropriate time to do so.
