Wow! Now I know I'm not alone in this... I, like so many others out there, have a hard time asking for help.
I'm stubborn.... to a fault. I don't like to admit that I can't do something on my own. I'm a woman... and a small one at that... I always feel like I have to prove myself. I feel like asking for help just sets me back. Do you know how embarassing it is to kick a guys butt in pool, and then turn around and have to ask for help changing a tire? - well... neither do I.... I know how to change my own tire... :)
Besides being stubborn... I'm independent, and a control freak. "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself." I kind of live by this saying... But worse than asking for help is when you ask for help and you don't get it... that REALLY makes my blood boil. So... most of the time I'd rather not ask... but I know we all need a little help every once in a while...

Yes, and asking for help can be such a gift for the one you’re asking! Everyone likes to feel wanted or needed sometimes. :)
Wow, you sound like my carbon copy!! hahaha
I hate asking for help. I think it stems from my independent personality…I don’t like feeling needy, and I always feel like I’m being a nuisance when I ask for help. I’m just so busy that I feel like everyone is…
And in terms of the control freak thing…I don’t trust other people..not even to do my groceries. haha
