Compuslively helpful?

A co-worker of mine made a very interesting observation about me today, which is that I'm "compulsively helpful". What she meant by that is that if I see something that could be better, or more efficient, whether in my domain/responsibility or not, I almost cannot help but offer assistance or input.

I think she's right. It's interesting for me to reflect how the best intentions can have very unintended and opposite results.

My sister would probably second this if I think back to all the unsolicited advice I gave her growing up. And I'm sure Soph would resonate with this.

That co-worker is correct, though. It *is* compulsive. I have a hard time even imagining a case where I would see something and be able to hold myself back from offering assistance. Wow. Clearly something to think about/grow in.
