The feedback I always get (which is also bad in some sense), is that I try to help other people with problems over my own tasks.

Fun fact, I am not even a senior yet. Yet I am helping seniors with their work...

Wow. I imagine that it's a good learning experience, but I worry about falling behind in work if you're always prioritizing others.

I'm not alone. You wouldn't believe how many people overthink things, have doubts, self-esteem issues, ...
If people are good, remember to tell them that they are good.
