Default Thoughts about "helping"

I'm not a lightworker I think... but I like to help people. Online too, if I can give an advice on someone asking for it, it makes me happy.
But recently I've started doubting about if helping people is such a good thing.
Often help works when you advice something that somehow is something the one asking for help thinks too... so basically you're not doing much... or maybe yes...

But, when you're opinion is out of the mindset of the asker is not such a good think.

The easiest example is the blindman that doesn't want to be helped in so many things, he wants to do it all alone.
I started some thread "How to find a love partner?", the first one of the threads about girlfriends, sex, love, etc.... and I had a lot of answers... but none of them was "useful" for me as I see it... so it was painful for me seeing so many people trying to help me. I felt guilty.

I'm gonna try some days without my "helping habit" and see what happens, that includes this board too... Maybe this post helps someone in the same situation, hehe... I'll try it would be my last help for a while, let's see...
