I think it has so much to do with both fear and pride. And yet when I have the opportunity to help, I really want the person I'm helping to know that I'm genuinely there for them, and not just helping because I'm too afraid to say no!

For me, it's usually the fear of rejection of being judged that prevents me from asking for help.

Would you like me to let you know what they are so you can edit them? (Feel free to say no...I won't be insulted. I don't think it takes away from the fact that your content is very helpful.)<br />Here's an example:<br />"Why are they so difficult to blurred them out." should be "Why are they so difficult to blurt them out?"<br />Education is a Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630031813554150232noreply@blogger.com
