When I say 'helping people,' I mean on a societal scale; people who are born with less than the average. That also means that we are talking about strangers and [u]not your friends or family[/u].
And I'm only tackling one aspect or one view of individualism for the purpose of this poll.

I help anybody and everybody. People need help and I'm more than willing to oblige. I spent Christmas Day handing out clothes and food to the homeless. It hurts to see someone in need of help, so if I physically can do something I do it. Otherwise I'm too overwhelmed with guilt knowing I didn't do something I should have.

I don't know what an individualist is, but I never help people if I don't want to or if it is at expense of myself at all even miniscully. Like maybe if they're in a car crash and it means risking myself, but probably not even then. I think maybe my family members are an exception but not by much. I won't however go out of my way to hurt people often or refuse help for no conceivable reason whatsoever just to be a dick. There has to be a reason why I'm being a dick, not just because for the sake of it... And I won't go out of my way to be unhelpful...

44 답변I help people, but not at the expense of myself. It's obviously the right thing to do to help those less fortunate, however I am not obligated to sacrifice what I already have for them, not should I be forced to. [i]Hint hint[/i]....

If someone approaches me and asks me to help them in a week, or at some far away location, then I'd likely make an excuse to get out of it unless I really like them or am interested in doing the task. If they request that I help them with something right where we are, right at this moment, then I'd gladly do it. And lastly I appreciate getting help from others, but I rarely ask for help.

4 답변I'm a very shy and introverted person and I rather not be around anybody, so no, I don't I don't help others.

I like giving homeless people things personally. If they ask for five bucks, I ask them if it's for cigarettes. If they say yes, then I'll ask them what brand they like and buy them a pack. I don't treat them like "Oh poor you," I treat them like I'd treat any other stranger that asks for help.

I don't know how to help other people without doing so at my expense. I spend my time and effort and money on helping other people, and that's fine with me. I believe that participating in a society comes with a level of responsibility.
