Nope, as I've said before because I can see someone in trouble so I help them, I use empathy/reasoning to imagine how much they are struggling. There's no remembrance of positive feelings because 1. I can't remember fellings from past events very well, including positive feelings after helping someone because you don't normally get the opportunity to help people every day, which means that you can't really recall the feeling you get from helping people.

2. When people need help it's such a instantaneous event that you have to drop whatever you were doing and help so you don't have time to think "Oh I might help them out because last time I helped I got a good feeling back."

Some people might find it hard to understand but there are people out there who genuinely help because they want to, because they see someone in trouble. There doesn't have to be rewards or advantages..Some people are just helpful or naturally selfless or they become selfless after time.
