Being helpful is one of the most used pretext in human relationships.  Did you happen to observe it? Or, have you practiced it for yourself? (personally, I have done it several times).

Being helpful is used for each of those situations where you felt like giving an unwanted piece of advice, and you did it without minding the reaction of your receiver. It is each of those times you considered the outcome was more important than the form, indeed “you wanted to help”. 

“Being helpful” always sounds like a great thought, a positive intent. Still “Being Helpful” is first of all an egoistical act (we want to voice out our opinion) and because of that, we must be able to adjust our message.
