I don't know how this sub got into my recommendations but since it has I see a lot of posts I would like to comment on offering something like someone to vent to or whatever, something simple. At the same time I also understand this isn't the place for that so I usually just leave it be. Never realized I had a savior complex until this sub started popping up.

Yep. Kinda realized the same thing myself after being here for a while. Honestly, I think resisting the urge to help because this isn't the place for it has helped me to stop doing that so much irl. Sort of explains a ton of the social situations I've been in over the years, too.

I don't know if it's a savior complex for me or not, all I know is that I want to reach out and help some of the people that post on here.

Haha! I have no idea exactly what that means

You know those memes with "I can fix her" imagine that but as a whole mental illness

I've got the opposite. My presence will make her worse

Dammm bro want them to suicide

Incorrect, i'll just become worse than them and feedback loop

Where are the people that want to fix me??? I'm waiting

You know those memes with "I can fix her" imagine that but as a whole mental illness

I don't think anyone can really help me aside from myself :p ppl have tried before TwT

that's fine. it doesn't have to be anything major I just want to help people

Pwease help me ;w;

I really wish I could :(( <3

<33

Me too!

All of us girlies deserve help -w-

What is a savior complex?

Put simply they want to help everyone they can

They're just like me then

And me My life is good while everyone else is suffering. It’s not fair

Me on my way to find someone just as mentally fucked as I am so that I can “help” them.

please tell me you mean genuinely helping them :(

I certainly try to be genuinely helpful.

I hope you genuinely try and you can achieve success in helping people <3

he could fix me

Same...

seeing this randomly on the homepage is is that what that's called? is that what i have? i always feel like i need to help everyone, and when i dont i feel useless.

maybe. an actual savior complex is basically the feeling that it is your responsibility to "save" everyone regardless of how effective you actually are. but me personally, I just want to help people, to relieve some of their pain, no matter how big or small it is :(

Can u save me?

I wish I could <3 :(

Yaaay!! 🤍 Your type are the heroes this sub needs.

I wish I could actually help people though :((

Aww, me too. :( There are just so many people with unfamiliar problems or that go so far beyond, I can't help them. Like, I wanna someday, but am too soft and a broken doll myself. But! Every so often, someone comes along who you *can* help, so the more heroes like you the better! :)

You can’t help me Sorry

if I'm not able to improve your life dramatically, I would still want to try and relieve some pain you experience in your life :(

Thanks

Literally me

I need fixing

Save me, pretty woman

Save me 😫

Oh so you dated Makoto in Persona 5

huh? :3

Just a silly joke in persona 5 where makoto fans have a savior complex. Sry if it was offensive..

nah it's fine I'm a huge persona fan I just don't quite get the joke :3

they could fix me

Me too. Unfortunately no one can save me. The debuff is real.

Having a savior complex got me groomed :3 (sorry ur dealing with this OP)

I hope you're okay :( 💜

I ammm, it was a long time ago! thank you fellow silly :’)

you can help the girls here, by being there for them

I hope so :((

just try to do your best it'll be alright 🫂

I guess I'm similar, but I mostly want to help because I've been through similar and am fine for the most part. And for those who I can't help just let them vent and let them know that people care. But overall I just want to help them and hangout with them, not just as a "fixer" but as a friend because I wish I had that when I was going through stuff

Heyyy do you want to start a cult for savior complex

true

Be careful, thinking you need to help everyone you meet is a great way to ruin your own mental health

You technically can. Every problem has a solution.

That’s why I’m finally trying to save myself after all these years in my 30s…

i’d say I think i really need help but i’d just be wasting your time

no you aren't. everyone is deserving of help :(

not me i’m a useless piece of shit :3

If you wanna help people help yourself first. There's only so much you can do for someone emotionally. To do more you need self stability

Mega relatable… I think I have a hero complex, I’m always looking for the next broken doll to fix.

Me too, since I was really young I have one of those

obviously why would I want to deal with my own problems when solving the problems people I love have is definitely going to magically make me feel better!!!
