What is it that motivates you to come to Help.com? - Help.com

the feeling i get once ive helped somone ;)

The users that I cant wait to talk to.

Many things I guess. The people mostly.

You know… I’m actually not sure. XD I just like coming here.

Actually, on second thought, I like to see the different sorts of people that all have something in common.

Also, I love that the site doesn’t delete anything, so I can study people all day long and figure lots of stuff out! :D
(I’m a creepy stalker person, so what??)

I have such a pathetic, shallow life, it’s nice to come here and have a few friends, help a few out. Mostly to feel needed, and appreciated…

Its an amazing feeling :)

Well, I enjoy it all, from the disgruntling debates to the commensurable diplomacy. Foremost, I enjoy helping sincere people with genuine issues.

OH! I have a different Anon icon! This is exciting, sorry….

..Okay, no need to get so -_- about it.

I will get so -_- about it! :P
Why? ‘Cause it’s fun! :D

I come here because of the people mainly. And to read about other people’s problems, so if I’m ever in that situation, maybe I’ll know what to do kind of thing. =D

I always wondered what the hell this -_- means?

Is suppose to intimate someone sulking?

No, it’s like a sarcastic/nonchalantly disappointed face. Kind of like a mocking face.

I dunno how that got mixed in the previous quote. XD

I like helping people… it gives me a sense like my life has a better purpose.

It reminds me of a small child’s countenance once they have reached in their happy meal bag from McDonalds only to find that their toy was excluded.

XD I just pictured that in my head and started laughing!
-_- I feel bad now…
It can mean ashamed too, see!

Yes, I can now recognize the ashamed connotation.

i come on help.com because i feel good once i know i can help others it opens my mind to others around me and answers my questions that are burning inside me without my good friends finding out

It reminds me of when you are kind of feeling pity for somebody, like they do something stupid and you are just like… -_- Being embarrassed for them, I guess… It’d hard to explain! That’s why I like it! It can’t be put into words. :P

Oh yeah, that’s good! Btw, I am writing all of this down for future reference;)

I come to help.com for a number of reasons, I posted this poem a day ago to sum up my feelings, but I feel it’s relevant here:

I love a little bit of help.com,
when I’m feeling down or not so strong,
a prop when I’m unsteady,
some helpful hands at the ready,
keeping the smile upon my face,
as I try to keep up with life’s fast pace,

advice given with purpose and care,
from those good people that choose to share,
knowledge and opinion given,
for those moments of indecision,
for times when you just haven’t a thought,
when you need a bit of constructive support,

a release for a rant or share an emotion,
a forum for thought or put forth a notion,
let the users lend you their ears,
to help quash your worries and your fears,
you do not stand alone with life’s big trial,
so let help.com maintain your smile…

I love it! Although, (a little bit of constructive criticism) I think it would flow a little better on the second line of the second stanza if you said, “From those good people who have chosen to share” Just a thought, but it’s a great poem either way! :D

you’re right! Good suggestion…it does flow off the tongue a bit easier. :) I will change it on the original post. :)

idk

Hello,
I suppose the main reason for me comming here is because I love helping people I came here looking to help my neighbour with a problem and stayed to help others around the world and the bit of craic that came with staying here.

I just like to help when I can =]

the only way to realize my very existence is through someone else’s eyes after helping them

I like helping. :)

My finger’s

different things at different times……….sorry vague

Hmmm…something got to do with my reflexes i think.

I come here because it is like coming home, in a sense, to a family/community….I recognize people here; I am friends with many of them. It’s amazing to see all the different points of view and different ways that people see the world. I love the people. There are lots of “friendly faces,” and if I can help in some way while I’m here, that’s an added bonus

It’s a thing where I get to communicate with people from differents places and cultures. I think we all believe that if we help, some good will come to us:)

Plus, sometimes it may be felt that people who are helpers make good friends:)
They do! Just be careful of the trolls:)

I also believe that if I build a team of friends to help people, it will make a small difference:) Even if it’s just teaching me. I can never have enough friends:) Have you checked your friends list lately?

Why do I come here? Honestly? I’m freakin’ bored, that’s why.
