Something so many of us can struggle with, is asking for help, when we need help.
We might need emotional support from a friend. We may be stumped on a task in our jobs, or at school. We might lack some knowledge or skill that would be useful or important.
We might fear seeming “incapable” if we ask for help. So many of us have been shamed, especially as children, for not knowing things, or being unable to do things. We have all these internalized fears, beliefs, about what it might mean if we ask for help. Of how others might react. Of what it might mean about us, if we need help.
Seen properly, there are rarely true reasons not to ask for help.
