I like to help people when I can and feel confident enough to do so. I do generally hope for recognition that I've helped them though. One of the issues that causes people not to help others is that they are afraid they will do the wrong thing and screw it up; social embarassment is one of the most unliked emotions we have. Another is that if it is in a public place or with a group, they get the mentality that "some one else will help them". Unfortunately, a lot of the time everyone has that mentality.
