Do you find it hard to ask for help?

Even when people have offered to be there for me I still find it hard to reach out. I worry that people were just being polite, or might have their own stuff going on, or maybe just aren’t in the mood and if I reach out they’d feel obliged or guilted into talking to me. My head can just be such a dark place and all of my thoughts work against me. I’d rather suffer on my own than feel like a burden to others

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.
