Am I a horrible person?

**StompArtist** · 09-07-2011, 07:06 PM

Not sure why you feel horrible with doing all in your power to help and then leave when you couldn't do anything more!

What you did and the worries you have prove you are a great guy. No worries bro...

If you were a horrible person, you wouldnt have stopped period. Actually, most people dont even stop when they see something like this because theyre afraid of it. You had the courage and kindness to help out in a very scary situation and stayed until the ambulance came. Sounds like a pretty nice person to me. Nice work!

I felt like I was horrible in the sense that I was apathetic to him like I didn't show any sympathy, let alone talk to him except when asking where the pain was, and how his senses were. So it's more like I only helped him because it was the right thing to do, not for compassion, which kinda scares me because if I don't show emotion on something like this, what exactly do I care about? O.o

That's adrenaline for you. It's normal and makes you someone I'd want on my side in times of war. You obviously care else you wouldn't be asking here.

you were just in shock, caught up in the moment. talking to him was not as important as stopping the blood just then. don't worry, i know you are a good person

Would you not say it is a bit shocking of a situation? I mean, it is not like you want to give a bleeding person a big hug....

**Ayc2000** · 09-07-2011, 07:22 PM

lol, we all commented at almost the exact same time, which means that it must be true

You mean to say they are not a kool-aid fountain? Aww

. Yeah, I know what you mean, but I literally didn't show any emotion. That's what freaked me out a bit.

**Otukura** · 09-07-2011, 07:25 PM

Considering you're questioning that, I just be really bad. I'd scram and feel guilty forever.

**DPANDA** · 09-07-2011, 07:27 PM

That's the shock reaction, you did what you could which is a lot more than most peop,e would these days

**Suentous PO** · 09-07-2011, 07:28 PM

You did what was right , which is neither good or bad. For all you know he had just mugged an ol lady. Don't beat yerself up, as you were just reminded the world can be heartless, except for the fact that there are some people who will help you without knowing or caring why you are hurt. That's what you did it's altruism. Thank gods for folks like you.

Unless for some random reason you felt like Dexter from the Television Show, you are okay.

Wounded, do you mind stopping in a dark alleyway tonight at Oceanside, California: Mission Avenue? I have a surprise for you.

**LIGHTNINGLORD67** · 09-07-2011, 07:39 PM

Parth, I know how you are feeling right now and let me just say that no, that does not make you a horrible person. You did your job and that was perfectly fine! The medics got there, I mean they had to, since you said someone else called for them, so you did your part! Don't feel guilty about leaving early, if the medics got there, you should actually feel proud that you called 911 and the medics came for that poor child!

God bless the victim's heart...and you're heart for saving him

Oh sure! Let me go grab my bike and my iPhone.....*I hope he has an iTunes card!* See you in a while bro! Only about a moth or two by bike. I spent my cab money on platinum.

**YYZ????** · 09-07-2011, 07:45 PM

Do not feel bad. Feel good about your reaction. Some people react differently to traumatic situations. Some may get hysterical, some freeze, some run away. Thank goodness there are people like you that can analyze the situation and make decisions.

Ohh, get me a souvenir!

Ok... The story's creepy. If I saw someone getting stabbed I would scream my head off and run away. So it's good that you even went up. But if you felt guilt for not feeling bad then, then that's good. You're not a horrible person.
