There are many things most people do not see when it comes to a selfless person. A selfless person has some attributes and characteristics that are absent in your average person. Here are a few things that selfless people will not tell you on their own.

They Have a Hidden Past

Most people who can provide an unconditional amount of care for other people's needs, probably had a rough past. This can be anywhere from verbal abuse to witnessing a difficult event. The results of these tribulations are obviously pain. These people understand how bad a person can hurt, and tend to protect others from feeling the same way they once felt. Nothing makes them happier than to have someone to love and cherish. Even just a simple smile can make their days.

They Will Jump In Front of a Car for You (LITERALLY)

If you were walking across the street and a car decided to run a stop light. More than likely you would be hit head on. However, if you were with a person who was considered to be selfless, they would most likely push you out of the way and take a hit. This is because this type of person can not bear the thought of seeing a person they love damaged. They would rather feel the pain themselves and save you then sit back and watch it happen. If they were to fail to fulfil their mission, and abundance of guilt would occur.

They Need Support

Most selfless people give so much of themselves to other people that they become vulnerable when in their time of need. They tend to wonder if people actually love them or if it is just a hoax.They also over think things frequently and find themselves to be irritating to others. In return, this causes them to have an illusion of pain that does not actually exist. This pain causes them to feel unwanted and insecure.

They Get Taken Advantage of Easily

Some people tend to catch on to the abilities these type of people possess. If it is the wrong person, they may go too far. Some people are mean and potentially go out for the kill. The enemies know they can be a jerk to the person with very low dangerous results. They will take things, drag them on, and express a low amount of care until the selfless individual breaks.

It Takes a Long Amount of Time for Them to Fully Recover

After a person with this attribute is broken, they tend to hold on to the pain for a few days and eventually let it go. At least "let it go" in front of the public. They do not like other people to see them at their lowest point, and pretend things are okay. However, internally, they struggle to see the truth in a conflict. They usually blame themselves for the issue, and it eats them up. Eventually, their support system is able to convince them that it wasn't their fault. This could take up to months depending on the situation.
