Your Type
In the face of extreme stress, you automatically switch to a 'frantic caretaker' mode, attempting to divert inner anxiety by solving others' problems. This defense mechanism of over-giving is actually to mask your subconscious fear of 'being unneeded and abandoned'. You fear that without being useful, you'll be left alone in the deep sea. Next time a crisis hits, try putting your own oxygen mask on first; true security comes from accepting your vulnerability, not how many people you save.
💡 Did you know?
In extreme survival environments, 'over-helpers' often break down first because they expend double the energy but refuse to ask for help.
