Meanwhile, we can't always predict how people react to our good deeds. So, hypothetically, the positive and negative feedback come in randomly, will the self-therapy work effectively under these uncontrolled variables? How are you going to measure it?
Ah, curious friend :) Nothing is wrong with that. But answering your previous question, by only using this tool, it won't suffice.

Date: 22 May 2013, 6:37 PMDear Mr. Andrew,
I have to say, I am not sure if it is something we can call therapy, let alone measure it. It was just a random thought of possibilities. We can always hope for the best outcome from our good deeds, right? What I see is everyone at work looks up to him because he is kind and accommodating (He's our supervisor). He also looks pretty content with his life, though.
That I am. I guess this is the downside of learning psychology. We tend to overanalyze people around us.
Regards,
Jenny A____________________________________

But careful here, he's feeding on others' happiness because of his incapability of claiming his own happiness independently. This could blow up in his face when things didn't work as he expected. Where is the good deed in this case?
That's probably true, but I can't say I'm not enjoying it. Do you find it an issue?
Blake

Date: 23 May 2013, 12:15 PMWhat is so wrong with being kind and accommodating (I refuse to use the word 'being used')? Aren't they the characteristics that our society expects to see from us? Do we really have to go against social norms and expectations just to prove that we are strong?
No, I don't find it an issue.
