Are you reluctant to ask for help

I would not, if I'm able to do it myself i would do it myself. If i don't I'll try to ask for help from my friend.

i do ask people for rides and that sort of thing, but i hate to put people out but most people i ask are quite nice about it. i try not to over do it though. and try to return the favour or i give people a small thank you gift (i make a lot of stuff, so it is usually something like that.)

I am the same way. I hate to ask for help even from my own husband.

hmm..no i think im not as strong as u Suspenseful, but im also not too weak. I'm in the middle, if i really need something which is hard for me to do it myself, i will ask some help but still i wont lean on to them that much too, just a small help is enough. but if i knew n realize i can do it myself, i will do it myself completely. beside im a perfectionist, that makes me hard to easily trust to give my task to other people, i'd rather do it on my own whether it will be good or not quite good enough as the result.

I don't like people come for a visit and help just because I am sick.I am reluctant to ask for help. If they wish me get over the pain and greet to me, I'll be appreciated.

I tend to ask if i find if circumstances allow. I don't go asking anyone and everyone for just every petty thing that i could have done it myself. But i need to ask a question here, haha, if you don't mind... You see, for example, if i make a comment here, and if someone replies to my comment, i know i will receive a email notification about it. But what if i reply to that comment, and if i receive ANOTHER comment, would i get another email notification?? I was wondering if i do only get one email notification regardless the amount of comments replies i receive. Thank you!!

I am very reluctant to ask for help my friend because I am so independent, I have to do things for myself or not at all, and sometimes I will even cut my nose to spite my face, I am extremely stubborn and I will struggle rather than to abmit defeat and reach out for help! I hate depending on other people and I would rather go with out or suffer, it's my own making I know but unless I can do things for myself I don't want to know, so I hear what you are saying.

I hate asking for help from others (other than my husband and kids). I can't quite explain it, but it makes me feel odd. When my husband was hundreds of miles away (due to his father's passing), he had asked me to ask a friend of the family for a ride home from the airport. I thought the plans had already been made that this friend would pick my husband up. But I told my husband I would ask. I thought I would be okay with asking, but when I got up to him to ask, I almost couldn't get the words out as I started to get chocked up. It didn't help matters that he had company outside (I hadn't seen them until it was too late). I somehow got the words out and as soon as I did I turned around and walked quickly back to my house. And to make matters worse I forgot to say thank you to him after he agreed! I felt so bad. Okay, so I missed my husband something awful with him being away and all, but it made me feel even worse to forget a simple thank you to this person. I ended up mailing him a thank you, as I just couldn't seem to say it to him in person. It's funny, I remember feeling this way when I was growing up. And I hated asking for help then too. Some things don't change, I guess.

I would probably be more open to asking for help if I knew more people who could actually help me most of the time. I am usually the one people turn to for help. Most of the people I know, especially my wife's family, can't even help themselves most of the time, let alone help someone else. My family lives in another state, so turning to them for help is not possible most of the time. Most of my problems are personal, and monetary, so it is kind-of hard for me to get help with the stuff I really need help with, unless I can find a bag of money somewhere that no one else has a claim to...

Yes most of the time if I can do it on my own I really don't because I don't want troubling other people. Of course this kind of attitude isn't good in some cases when you really need help badly. I try to avoid that it gets to the point that I have done worse since I haven't asked for help.

Yes I am reluctant to ask for help especially at night when my husband is sound asleep.As much as possible I don't want to disturb his sleep because I know how hard it is to have a good night sleep at this age.Like you,I don't want to bother them when I'm not feeling well.I am also one of those brave souls who will still deny even if I am very sick.When panic attacks at night I take my remedies to ease myself and pray.When I wake up in the morning that is the time my husband will know the ordeal I had that night.

I don't like asking for help unless it's something I desperately need help with. Like if I can't find something in the supermarket I probably won't ask for help unless I've looked for like 30 mins. Haha

i am exactly like that and i am mostly likely going to die with that kind of attitude. my sisters keep telling me that i will sooner or later have to ask someone for help. i would just rather try my best to see if there's anyway i can do it myself. i will probably only ask if i am VERY VERY desperate. i'm glad to see that i'm not the only one like that.

i find it's easy to ask for helpping.when i was a little girl asking for a job from a famous company i know i have no chance and i disappointed.my mother told me that i always have next year.but i said to myself don't give up,just try .then i asking my teacher for help,a month later i got the job. i think no one can live without helpping and i wish to help anyone i could.

i am also like you.i donot like to ask for anybodys help,if i can make it by myself. happy mylotting.

only say I need something if someone is going that way and dont mind picking it up for me and I give them the money for it. !
