Question

i honestly feel like im a bad person and i have alot of guilt for things ive done in the past i was wondering if i helped out there would i feel better?

Answer 1

It would make you feel better. But please do it for them. There is so many people that need help. Good luck.

Answer 2

if u think that every time you help one person that ur washing away one of ur sins/ redeeming urself, then yeah, ull feel better. plus, ur doing a really good thing by helping ppl that r less fortunate. so u SHUD feel better about urself!

Answer 3

Well, if you only feel like a bad person, I doubt you'll fit in.  Most people who volunteer at the homeless shelters actually ARE bad people & they use that skill to take advantage of the homeless & steal provisions that are provided by government agencies to assist them.  It's a joke.  You should go & see another side of life, if nothing else!

Answer 4

try and see if you do feel better.

that's what i would do.

Answer 5

it should make you feel better or say sorry and make up with those that you did something wrong to

Answer 6

I do it. And it makes me feel better.

Except I do it for them, not for any benefit for me though

Answer 7

Volunteering and helping anyone makes most people feel good.  Guilt is only good for five minutes when you decide because of it, that you won't act that way again.  You cannot do anything about your past mistakes, but you can make your future better by not repeating those same mistakes again.  Yes, go and help others that need help, you will become a better person because of it. Search the papers in the volunteer section, and see if there is anything that you are interested in.  I help people learn to read and love it.
