Don't be afraid to ask for help!
It's often hard to admit when we need help, and even harder to ask for it!
I think it's our prides that prevent us from asking for help, but why do we do that? No one can do everything alone, right?
We are often our own greatest obstacles when we don't admit our needs. It's not weak to ask for help, it is strong!
I am grateful when others ask me for help. It feels so good to be needed!
I have had to ask for help a lot lately. I have had to remind myself that it is okay! The people in my life want to help, and they feel so good when I ask!
Admitting that you need help is probably so hard because we want to be able to do everything alone, we want to be strong enough not to need anyone. But that is wrong! We have to have each other to pull through! Life is too messy to be lonely and need help! Just ask!
We are never really alone. We just tend to isolate ourselves in our stress when we're overwhelmed. I can't describe the relief I feel when I am in need, ask for help, and someone gladly and lovingly lends me a hand!
I have never regretted asking for help when I needed it, even when it was hard. There is no shame in having others help you!
I had a chat with a fellow the other day about flaws, and I must say, this is one of my largest flaws. I hate asking for help, and I loathe needing help.
I have to work on this...But I have a looooong way to go.
Don't worry, I will help you. 😉
I'm learning to ask for help, it just takes practice :)
Yes, exactly. 😄
yup! You can't do life alone. :)
So glad we don't have to! :D
This makes so much sense. This is a big problem for me. I don't want to bother other people with my needs. This is due to my feeling sometimes too anxious and overwhelmed to help others. So I assume everyone feels this way also. Which is wrong.
Totally! If we spend our whole lives worried about bothering people, we are wasting time that could be spent simply asking for what we need and growing in our relationships as we help each other!
A timely post. I've been in the position of needing to ask for help this week. And will need to ask a couple more people for help today. So you've encouraged me to ask, instead of waiting another day and seeing if I can manage.
I've also had to let go of a family responsibility I was going to take on, and ask someone else to do it instead. And actually, she is in a better position to do it and will do an excellent job. So why did I say "I'll do it" in the first place, without thinking if anyone else would be better?
I'm glad you're encouraged to ask for help!
Yes, sometimes we take things into our own hands when someone who is willing could have done it better!
Eldest sibling syndrome maybe?
How ironic that you posted this today...
Are you needing to ask for help? 😊
Unfortunately.
Don't be afraid! Asking for help is okay! 😊
I can completely relate to having a hard time accepting help. This is such a refreshing perspective and I'm so glad you shared it @uglysweater.💥
Thanks, girlie!
Help!.......I need some of your buscuits! LOL!
Haha! 😄
You are right, asking for help is sometimes difficult. Scared to show people his weakness. Sometimes scary to possible failure and this fear prevents to decide. I don't like asking for help, but sometimes it is necessary.
