Most of the time but I learned early in life the only one I can count on to help me is myself.

I am living through a time like that. Actually, although I do feel like that often, there are three people who would help me, but they are far away and not entirely well themselves.

I have to agree with curiosi and carleighj. It's true,
curiosi · 61-69, F
Yep, I need to be my own hero. It's the only way.

Yes. It has always happened to me more than once.

I needed more support given that I was dumped and even my best friend didn't want to talk to me. Nobody even cared to ask if I was doing fine either and it's been months.

So I gave up on friends and learned a hard lesson in life that nobody will ever care for you other than your immediate family.
I didn't asked despite availability.
@CarleighJ I assume now our different cultural back ground come to play. So, I won't take any credit for that. Here, from where I belong, we smell it, if some one of us is in need. Its too common.
I don't take it as I believe a man is a man who make it for himself, doesn't matter less or more. Emotional support is way too much in this part of the world. In fact, some inspired by your part of the world, sees it a burden. Funny isn't it.

I don't feel like a burden bz I know when I am paralize or completely broken. I would be having lots of support.

If you feel burdened my friend. You should speak to your wife first. If can't. Your parents or any siblings. Its gonna do you magic and save money from therapies. Btw, find me of you ever like to talk 🙂

I don't feel like a burden to others more so I have the understanding that support of those that are suppose to be close to you should not be one sided if you know what I mean. The whole metaphor of, you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours should be going on all the time but it's not.

If you are there for friends, family and even a random person you don't know that looks like or seems as if they need something or just to talk, you should make the attempt to help or listen whether they asked for the help or not.

Just knowing that support is offered by someone you know or even someone that doesnot know you from the next person, even if they wish to handle anything by themself, putting the offer out is beneficial to the person to know someone notices and cares and ultimately leads to better wellbeing of society in general.

Culturally I don't feel that society on a global front takes the time to see how each other is doing, or to care for each other as a community anymore. It is as you said, no matter where you go, some people see taking the time to offer support even if it is minimal as a major inconvience and burden to take the time.

Also I have a husband but no issue taking a wife too if I could. Who knows the other wife might like doing dishes, I sure don't 🤣
@CarleighJ lol. I miss the f in your profile and thought you are a budy 😁

Yes. Those who could, don't want to because it might inconvenience them or put them into an uncomfortable position. Others can't, though they try in their own way.
