The need to feel useful isn’t really altruistic. Sure, it can be, but the vast majority of the time it’s a selfish urge to satisfy one’s own dopamine rush of accomplishment mixed with “I’m the only one who can do this” thoughts. Throw in a dash of mental illness and a sprinkling of “this is how we did it in the good ole days”, and it’s more harm than help.
