Help?

writerravenclaw13th Nov 2022A day in the life ofhttps://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/my-question/

The https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/my-question/ is about asking for help

I don’t ask for help, even when I need it.

Mostly because I was brought up to be independent and do things for myself. I hate asking, especially when I have geared myself for the answer. No. I am even more embarrassed when the answer is no.

I am better with family, because they know me, will understand it takes a lot for me to ask.

When accepting help, I know that it has been offered, rather than me asking for it. I am still a little embarrassed. I am a lot better for giving help because we are all human.

Thanks Diana for sharing your thoughts. I think it’s our ego that stops us from accepting help even when we need it. When we offer help, we are happy if it is accepted.

It’s okay to ask for help and to accept it when it’s coming. I learned it a harder way, still learning.

  I am still learning, but I am getting better. I think mine stems from when I was a child and bullied.
  It was always kept secret, when I should have told a teacher.

    Such wounded patterns usually comes from one’s childhood experiences.
