You described it very well by the word "compulsive". This is your weakness which affects not only you, but also people around you as well. You should do something about it, the sooner the better.
Yes, I'm aware of the problem. I don't think I've *actually* taken away anyone's autonomy (I'm stopped when I unwittingly try to do so) or that I've perpetuated a sense of dependence.. Everyone is still very capable of living their normal lives without me--and they take care of me, when needed.
But the fact that I can't seem to separate the person I am from "the person who cares for others" is, I assume, an issue..
