Whoever among you is willing to be great will be your servant

From a psychological perspective, people who are willing to serve others often have higher levels of mental health and social adaptability. This attitude is closely related to altruism, humble personality traits, and a healthy sense of self-worth, which can effectively reduce interpersonal conflicts and enhance group cohesion. From the perspective of psychological research, people who actively choose to serve others usually have stable intrinsic motivation. This group of people achieves self-worth by helping others, and their brain reward circuits respond positively to altruistic behavior. Long term practice of service behavior can promote the secretion of oxytocin, a hormone that can enhance trust and emotional connection, while reducing stress hormone levels. The positive interpersonal network established during the service process will become an important social support resource. In rare cases, excessive self sacrifice may reflect underlying psychological issues. When service behavior is accompanied by a pleasing personality or low self-esteem, individuals may fall into emotional exhaustion. Some people may form an overcompensation mechanism due to emotional neglect during childhood, constantly paying to gain a sense of existence. This type of situation requires professional psychological intervention to help establish healthy boundary awareness and self-identity. Developing a mindset of serving others requires a balance between self-care and altruistic behavior. It is recommended to enhance self-awareness through mindfulness practice and distinguish between health services and excessive effort. Establish flexible social boundaries and conduct regular psychological energy assessments. When participating in volunteer service, choose fields that match personal values and maintain a moderate frequency of participation. If there is persistent emotional fatigue or reluctance, timely psychological counseling should be sought to rebuild a healthy interaction pattern through cognitive-behavioral therapy.
