As a help object, I was not treated with the presumption that I knew what I needed and was acting on it. As a help object, I wasn’t a person with an internal experience in which standing was a good thing. As a help object, I was expected to accede to the other person’s offer so that she would not feel disappointed. Rejecting that offer was akin to breaking the rules of an implied contract I had never signed. When we use people as help objects, we take away their ability to live unapologetically on their own terms. Lets help when it is needed and wanted otherwise it is not really help.
