in a study of by-standers, it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.“there is a tendency to decide that no action is needed.” says a psychologist. “the first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. in order to take action, you have to work against them.” here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping.why should i be the one?
