I notice that I often help people, even when I am deeply hurt...I would ignore my emotions for the time being,just to help the other person get over their hurt...Oh well...LOL!

Some of us preach what we have experienced. It may not be "right" but It's from previous wounds that have since scabbed over and became scars. That's how wounded healers work. Plus, if any sign is a wounded healer it is Sagittarius because all especially do is learn through experience.


That sounds to be right. Wiki:
Wounded healer is a term created by psychologist Carl Jung. The idea states that an analyst is compelled to treat patients because the analyst himself is "wounded".

lol, yeah probably

Some of us certainly do need to practice what we preach


I know about myself that I was moralistic in my young/innocent years too. I was mad at my brother when I saw him smoke cigaretts. ridiculous I know.

Also I have been eager to help whole my life. Before and after my big sins.

In real life when I preach, I back it up with my own true stories. Online I keep lots of stories to myself because of catfishes and a few other things.

Also I don't want to be a big hero. Just a little one.

Just a thought....

That is possible...and interesting....like Chiron, right?
They do tend to have a healing effect...and they think of others mostly, it seems most of their time is spent with others, at work, in cafes with friends, at parties, concerts. But it's not like the just try to have fun for themselves, they connect with others, it's all about others. So there's definitely something there.

Same here! But I'm emotionally distant, so people wouldn't even know I was hurt unless I told them, which I don't ever do because...I just don't let anyone see me when I'm down.

Yes. 1,000,000 times yes. Story of my life. It helps me to help others. Sometimes if I'm hurt our depressed I'll go seek a stranger that looks down and compliment them and seeing them light up heals me. Or buying friends stuff/feeding people.
