If you do a lot of work with charities or volunteer regularly, do you like people to know that you do or would you rather keep it to yourself?

Asked by OpryLeigh (25305points) February 2nd, 2010

Does a small part of you like the admiration or recognition that you get from doing charity work/volunteering or do you keep it to yourself? If you keep it to yourself, why? I often feel that when someone makes a point of informing people of the charity work they do (apart from maybe spreading the word for the good of the charity) I feel a little less respect for them than I would if I found out that they did charity work but they had kept it quiet themselves. It’s almost like they have an ulterior motive for doing good deeds. What do you think?

I’m sure we have all been guilty of dropping our good deeds into conversation from time to time , I’m just trying to discover why we feel the need to do this.
