it feels safer to look after others and not oneself
YES, unfortunately this can become something learned from having too much exposure to dysfunctional and even toxic individuals.

It's always safer when something you do or say makes someone else happy though isn't it? We actually do have a lot of societal messages that tell us this as well.
