Injured individuals often struggle with feelings of guilt due to their inability to reciprocate the help they receive from friends and family. This sense of indebtedness can lead to social challenges and strain relationships. An evolutionary perspective, specifically the concept of reciprocal altruism proposed by Robert Trivers, offers insights into why these feelings arise and how we can better support those in need. By fostering an understanding of these dynamics, we can create environments that minimize guilt and enhance social connections for individuals facing disabilities or injuries.
People with injuries or disabilities often feel a sense of guilt for not being able to reciprocate help, which can adversely affect their social relationships.
Understanding the evolutionary roots of altruism can provide insight into how to better support those with injuries or disabilities in maintaining their social connections.
