Sometimes its a lot easier to see through someone else's problems when you have no bias and are working from the outside. Other people's problems always seem simpler.

It s the urge of a human nature, wanting to b seen and accepted to sort of feeling good in oneself as our kind act. We always get stuck witj our own issues as we immerse in an anticipated outcomes as the way we want than the way it is.

It's just easier to help other people because it's sometimes more difficult to process our own emotions and experiences than giving counsel and advice to others or helping them in other ways. Sometimes we also throw our attention into something to distract ourselves so that we don't have to focus on the things happening to us, it's a very common response when our personal life is in disarray and we have no idea how to start managing it. That said, it is important to help yourself first because a more confident and happier you will also inspire others as your disposition will project outwardly and can impact others who you are helping as well.
