Am I OK?

[fluffymark]

I think I'm beginning to lose it. I hope not, but the signs are there. I've just shuddered at realising the number of times I've asked various people the simple question 'Are you OK?' today. In all cases many times to each person. Which is getting a bit obsessive and slightly odd. Especially as I already know the answer in all cases, even before asking them the first time. So why am I asking them? And I now realise the question I've been wanting to ask, but have been subconsciously scared of doing so, and therefore projected the object question into the second person. All the time what I've really been asking is 'Am *I* OK?'. Although nobody else spotted this psychological oddity either.
As I said, I must be going nuts.

I just fear sometimes I want to help too much
Syntax confusion : do you mean you want too much to help, or you think the help you want to give is too much?
Either way it probably does make sense (though I've only had three hours sleep and I can't really tell right now) but...you're happy right now. And still helping. So...you're probably doing any number of things right. ~smile~
I'll endeavour to actually make sense next time, I promise. I'm just sleepy.
