Why don't you solve the issues of 2-3 people around you, people you know and see, rather than trying to change the world?

You'd actually see the difference you're making, instead of feeling helpless about massive issues.

Because I am trying to make a statistically significant change, not a change just to make me feel good.

Wrong, you are making yourself feel good by telling yourself the problem is too great to handle. You feel like you're a good empathetic person except you don't do anything.

Actually doing something takes effort, and is hard, and is risky.

I'm not saying the problem is to great to handle, I've explained ways to handle it.
