Asking for Help

Do you find it hard to ask for help? Almost everyone does. Have you ever said any of these phrases?

• People are so busy; I don't want to bother them.
• I don’t want pity and I don't like being needy.
• I don't want people to know my business.
• Other people won't do it right.
• It is easier to do it myself.
• I hate feeling obligated.
• I am the independent type and, really, I’m fine!

This "do it by myself" attitude comes from our culture and upbringing. But just as you would help someone who asked, there are people who will help you, too.
