help everyone but myself

probs stems from the fact that i’m always there for others when they need me. any time someone needs help (homework, advice, someone to talk to) i drop everything and listen bc that’s what friends do. but i won’t let others help me bc i don’t think they can and i’m pretty much a control freak so i don’t trust people to deal with my problems (if i can’t fix them how can i expect u to?) it also stems from the fact that every time i try to open up i feel like i’m shot down as people don’t expect me to seek help but i wish sometimes i could just let someone else take the reigns and guide me bc i’m getting really exhausted
I don't think it's about letting someone else take the reigns and guide you. How about trying letting other people offer suggestions, and you pick from those that you think might work for you? It's not as though your letting other people run your life. That's [i]your[/i] job. But you also don't have to reinvent the wheel every day. You can benefit from other people's experiences by just hearing what they have to say and considering whether they might be good for you or not. If they are, great. If not, no big deal.
Even if I can't help I do try to offer support or just even sit next to the person so they are comforted due to just having a potential someone to turn to.
