It's undeniable that a savior complex exists, and every person has a spiritual side, but unfortunately, malicious individuals often target genuinely kind people, taking advantage of them for their own gain.

I think sometimes it is us overcompensating for a lack of control or productivity in one’s own life.

Lol 😂 girl i needed this. My favorite and most needed part, "no one asked you to do all that".

I didn’t have a “savior complex” because I didn’t get too far or overbearing in people’s issues or neglected myself for others, but I was a “strong friend”. When I started realizing I was around a lot of users, people who didn’t want to work on their own issues because they enjoyed being victims, one sided relationships, I took steps back. When I started minding my own business & letting people fight their own battles, whew! So much peace in my life! Also, people have to realize a lot of people are reaping what they’ve sown & facing the consequences of their actions. You’re right about how we are not here to save people, that’s what God is there for. The best thing I can do is pray for people nowadays & help where and if I can.

A lot of people who like to self sabotage and underachievers are really attracted to people who have savior complexes too! They can spot you!

[alonzorodriguez]

Oooh chile I’m glad I don’t have that complex anymore 🤦🏽‍♂️I was so naive

[thequeenmidas]

Saviour/ hero complex is also when you're trying to help people to the point that your need to save them feeds your sheer existence. You don't feel worthy or valued unless someone can lean on you. You over extended yourself to your own detriment and perceive rescuing them as the price of getting their love and acceptance. It's almost an addiction and also a form of manipulation in order to be valued and liked by others. It's also an attention seeking mechanism. It varies in degree, because some people are just people pleasers and being taken advantage of without realizing it without necessarily having a saviour or hero.

Some people drain you with their problem then their problem become your problem. Its alot especially when its toxic family members .

[syguzman]

⚠️🛑 My father had a "savior complex" and got scammed out of thousands of dollars throughout his life. Anytime someone would come to him with a sob story and ask for money, my dad would give them the cash. In his mind, he was "helping" others, not realizing he was being taken for a fool.

[GHOtMod]

I’m tired of when people complain and they say they truly need help but when you present them with help, they have EVERY EXCUSE in the book 📕

[BeStillandKnow]

I think we do it because it was done to us. Usually these tendencies come from being neglected in childhood, so we think that by "helping" people we will get it too -- not realizing that we may not be helpful to them, while also making it our identity, the key is to give to you, what you never got before. to not neglect yourself by imposing on other people's life and actually tend to yourself and your life. we got this.

[CarrieCain-vmct]

The "savior complex" can be more harmful than helpful when that person is acting from a place of superiority. We as human beings can learn from one anothers experiences. That is how humanity evolves.

[Iquey]

As a person with a lot of compassion for my friends and random bits of knowledge about many topics, i am prone to this. I'm so done with being an unappreciated "knowitall friend" to people who dont really want me around to help. People can save their own damn selves. We all adults now. 🖤 Oldest "daughter" problems.

[emichelle]

This is what I’m working on currently. Being overly helpful can be a two edged sword! It’s definitely draining. So grateful for you for your wise words! TFS 💜

[mimine]

I needed this, I found myself dealing with pretty much all, can’t even focus on myself. Thank you Karine, I’m gonna do things differently ❤

[rturnersr]

I've always had this issue, not understanding how it held me back. I appreciate the information. Thanks!

[m-cdeslo]

Right ✅️! One has to avoid from neglecting oneself when helping people because it just brings toxicity into one's life. So one ends up with hard feelings and animosity.

[nicki]

Okay I need to listen to this every day to break through this! This describes me! And then I financially ruin myself for trying to help others.
