I'm other people to you. Have you helped me?
Idiot "Helping other people is great! That's why I do it in a vague and amorphous way that doesn't actually constitute helping anyone. See, if I help people in this way, they give me credit for changing their lives and I don't have to have to actually do anything. Which is why self-help is so lucrative. Then, I get to tell myself I'm helping people and I get money for it."
Hym "But, by your own logic, if I didn't write the Joker and, therefore, shouldn't be paid for doing it... Then you don't actually help anyone and shouldn't be paid. What's more, I ACTUALLY WROTE the words the Joaquin Phoenix said in the movie whereas you're just saying that you helped people or taking them at their word... Soooo...."

The misinterpretation of someone's genuine efforts to problem-solve, provide solutions, or meet goals as being negative or pessimistic. Often encountered in workplaces or group projects where constructive feedback is misconstrued as criticism.
Every time I suggest a way to improve our process, they label me as "negative". I'm just trying to make things work better!
Chrystal wasn't being a downer; she was just being negative helpful. He genuinely wants the project to succeed.

Attempting to alleviate a situation by being of help, but instead making no impact or making the situation worse.
A: Hey, I remember you talked about that problem with your boyfriend, so I went ahead and asked him about it. He was kinda stand-offish, but I managed to get your point across.
B: You did WHAT? OK, look, I appreciate how much energy you put into that, but you're really potato-helping right now. This is going to make talking to him harder.
A: Oh, I didn't realize. I'm sorry.
