Today I am going to talk about asking for help and how I have a super hard time asking for help and I also have a hard time accepting help. I am sure the reason for this is the fact that my grandma hardly ever asks for help. I have found that I never ask for help. I feel like I don’t even know how to ask and just thinking about asking for help make me nervous.
As for accepting help I find that I don’t really have people offer to help so I don’t know have much experience with this. I do know that the few times someone has helped me I feel bad because I think I should be able to do everything myself and hate when I can’t do something. I do ask for help at work because I am the first to admit that I don’t know it all and even if I did know it all there is no way I can do everything, even if people think that I should be able to.
I guess the hard part for me is I don’t really have anyone who is close enough to me that I would trust to ask. I say this because I could use help at times with things that are personal and I also would never ask for help from people I don’t know and trust. I am lucky that now the Multiple Sclerosis isn’t bad enough that I need tons of help. I am really not sure what I will do when or if I ever get to the point where I have to ask because I am not sure I will be able to bring myself to be able to do it.
Those are my thoughts on asking for help and having people help me. I need to figure out how to ask for help and how to accept help because I am sure I will need to in the future and right now I feel like I have no idea how to do either.
Do you have a hard time asking for help? How do you combat it?

I definitely do and it’s something I need to work on
I think most people need to work on it to be honest with you.

I also have a hard time asking for help but the truth is we all need it sometime in our lives. I know I love to help others in any way I can. I am sure when you ask you will have all kinds of people wanting to do what they can for you. Keep your chin up and ask.
Ya I guess…

It’s very hard for me to ask for help… working on it because I have no choice with a certain aspect of life.
Ya I know I need to work on it as well because I am sure I will have to ask for help in the future.

I have a hard time too. Makes me feel weak, and needy… two things I don’t ever want to admit to being. Good friends and loving family will not see the inquiry as a burden though! Sometimes it even blesses others when you ask for help. We ALL want to feel needed and appreciated. I know when I reach out to help someone, I never regret it!
Very true!

Yes, yes, yes.
After contemplating for a week, today I asked for help. I haven’t received an answer yet….and I’m feeling uptight about having asked.
I would hate having to wait for a response. That might just be worse than asking for help in the first place.
