Well, that was experience that I had in my life because I was a selfless person and I mostly did everything for the other people. I did not actually did my own wishes, thoughts, I was like denying for everyone. Well, I did it because I was naive, I was young, and I actually didn’t know that I was a selfless that is not essential to do something for the others even if they even if they don’t give anything back. So it was in seventh grade if I’m not mistaken, I was doing every homework for every people that were asking me to do this. I was giving any exams like on the classes that we had ever in the seventh grade. Just for fun. I was like, okay, you asked me this, then okay, I will give it to you. It’s not a big deal, but also I think it was impersonal because most of the people that I was giving those tips, I was helping them, they were using me. they were acting bad, they were acting selfish and I didn’t understood it at that time, but after two years I understood how bad it is actually. I felt that it was okay.

Well, that was an experience that I had in my life because I was a selfless person and I mostly did everything for other people. I did not actually do my own wishes or thoughts; I was denying myself for everyone. I did it because I was naive, I was young, and I actually didn't know that being selfless is not essential to do something for others even if they don't give anything back. So it was in seventh grade, if I'm not mistaken. I was doing every homework for everyone that was asking me to do it. I was giving answers on the exams in the classes that we had in seventh grade. Just for fun, I was like, okay, you asked me this, then okay, I will give it to you. It's not a big deal. But also, I think it was impersonal because most of the people that I was helping were using me. They were acting badly, they were acting selfishly, and I didn't understand it at that time. But after two years, I understood how bad it actually was. I felt that it was okay.
