Ouch.

As much as I hate to say that I've done this...i have. I think sometimes I feel like I will look better or seem like a better person if I do volunteer work or just random acts of kindness, and although this may be true, it shouldn't be the reason I do nice things. In situations like this, I may not realize it at the time, but I'm actually not doing it to help others, I'm doing it to make myself look better. This can easily be fixed. (Well, easier said then done, of course!) The main thing I struggle with is depending too much of what people think of me. If we just realize that it doesn't matter what people think of us, it would basically eliminate this problem.
