Do you find it hard to ask for help? Even when people have offered to be there for me I still...

SW-User

I do too, I feel guilty if I talk too much about my problems to someone, because I feel like I'm taking up too much of their time..🙇‍♀️

Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F

Yes and I don't

Every one of your friends has a life that does not include you, but when you need help and dont ask and they find out about it, it hurts their feelings and will hurt your friendship. A true friend will ask for help from someone they trust, and that true friend will be honored that you thought enough of them to ask and will immediately do what they can to help.

SW-User

yes. but i'm not in their head about it. i just want to be able to do everything by myself for myself. it's only after i've asked for help and someone is helping me that i feel like they're wasting their time on my stuff. i apologize too much, prob

PrincessRoarBuddy · F

YES I do find that difficult..

fakable

you are very right. keep suffering with yourself and don't become a burden to others. exactly so.

Nanori · F

I used to be like that but then I took them on their offer, if they don't like it then it'll teach them not to offer help again.

SW-User

Yes. I do everything myself. I don’t ask for anything because there’s nobody to ask anyway. Sometimes I really wish

QueenOfZaun · 26-30, F

Yes. Very hard. It’s an insecurity of mine, getting help from other people

Spumoni · 46-50, M

I sometimes do. Still trying to prove I can do it all on my own. Doesn't work that way.

Henal · 26-30, F

Yeah. I don’t like burdening people with my problems.

dsrice · 56-60, M

Yes, I find that difficult to do!

PiecingBabyFaceTogether · 31-35, M

I can totally relate. It's a struggle.

SW-User

Very hard so I never ask for help

SW-User

Yes

WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F

Yes.

Ilena · 31-35, F

Depends what kind and which context. Medical? Mental? Home stuff?

basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M

I do.
I'm not as bad as I was when I was younger, where'd I'd just self isolate. But I do still have issues where either the feel like a burden or my pride gets in the way.

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

I am always here for you. I truly mean that Sophie. I have love in my heart for you.

I want to see you happy 💖.

I do find it hard to ask for help though.

uncalled4 · 56-60, M

It depends. If it's really bothering me. I will reach out.

bijouxbroussard · F

Very much. I feel incompetent for even asking, which someone told me is a "man’s” mindset. Well, I’m not a man, and I know other women who are the same way so…

DDonde · 31-35, M

Yeah

I guess that's central to some of your problems, you have some paranoia around asking for help, so you don't and this problem just goes around in circles..
I guess trust those that say that they love you and want to help you and don't try to second guess what they're thinking, just believe that they mean what they say, don't over analyse 🤗
