This question needs an answer
Why do people always counterbalance their good deeds with something bad. Example would be doing someone a favour then calling them needy, giving someone broken items, moldy food or pennies you need to get rid of, promising things for free but later put someone in debt. Is there a psychological explanation for this? Is this the root of human selfish functioning so they are trying to maintain inner balance by doing this?
If someone does this then I would say it wasn't a good deed to start with. It may be the ego pretending to do good but actually it just wants acknowledgement or praise.
@fearlessLake3608 i understand
I recently watched mindfield on YouTube and they ran an experiment on a similar premise. It was like the good deed gave people an out in helping others.
