Knowing when to ask for help

It's okay to ask. I know sometimes it feels embarrassing and humiliating, but it really shows strength. My father was a teacher, and he taught me that the only dumb question is the one not asked. It's the same when you need help, from the smallest thing to a major problem. It's okay to ask. Your friends (true ones) want to help, they feel good when they can help, that's why you chose them as friends, because you know who you can count on and trust. Your family (if not too dysfunctional, but whose isn't?) really want to help. No matter what, they love you unconditionally and even know you better than you know yourself sometimes. It's okay to ask. Please reach out and ask when you need help and especially when you think you don't.
