It's so much harder to help yourself. When you help others, your mood improves because you are making a positive difference in someone's life. But when you help yourself, you feel selfish because you could be helping others instead.

it is easier to listen to others and look at their issues objectively without letting feelings cloud our judgment, However when it is our own problem, we tend to be overwhelmed by our feelings and not able to think things properly.

It's difficult to see the forest when you are in the forest. In general, it is easier to see an objective answer to a problem from the outside. But when you are in the middle of it, it can be difficult to see a simple, objective answer for yourself.

Its easier helping everyone else because you just have to tell them what it is and help them understand it. But when it is yourself, its not easy for you to convince yourself that it is how it is unless someone tells u so. Some people also find the joy in helping others, they feel better just by helping others. That can also be a possibility.

Because it's easier to solve problems for other people then ourselves . I know this firsthand . All my friends turn to me for advice but I can't really help myself when I need it . It's our human nature . Sometimes we need to rely on others when we feel down .
