“A Problem Shared is a Problem Halved” What this saying means that being able to ask for help strengthens resilience. When we ask for help, we are recognizing we are not alone to solve a problem and we have others who care about us. At mes, asking for help may seem difficult. Some mes we may think:
“I should be able to solve this myself” or, “People will think less of me if I ask for help” or, “I need to be more independent and take care of my own problems” or, “Asking for help is a sign of weakness”, or, “This is no one else’ business but mine.”
Ask yourself:
What other reasons have you thought of why it may be difficult to ask for help? When did you recently ask for help and found that help useful? How do you feel when someone asks you for help? What are some benefits of being able to ask for help?
