Not only...I just realized I never responded to you. Not only have I been slacking on the blog but on the comments as well. Thank you! And, yes, it is SO hard to ask for help. I don't know why, but I always felt like it was "showing weakness" or "taking advantage" but that is all about perspective and how and why I'm asking. Thank you for sharing your story!Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18004953864992973879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024470007643898188.post-47420006632791239932012-01-04T23:10:36.505-08:002012-01-04T23:10:36.505-08:00Good to see a new entry from you. Congratulations ...Good to see a new entry from you. Congratulations on getting your Master's! Yet another wonderful blog. I am very prideful and I admittedly have a really hard time asking anyone for help. My parents moved clear across the country from the rest of their family and didn't really know anyone in California so they didn't have a lot of help when I was growing up. That sort of instilled in me a very self-sufficient mindset but I have begun to realize that it's crippling in some ways. I have friends constantly offering to help with things but I have always had the attitude of "I got myself into this, it's no one else's problem, I'll get myself out." I feel weird and wrong to ask other people for help with my own issues, even when they want to help. I realize that's a large part of the point in having loved ones, and I have no problem helping others when they're in need, but god is it hard to ask for it myself.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728223249732872915noreply@blogger.com
