Twitter: I am terrible at asking for help! I never think to do it. And when I do, I dismiss it, thinking “ah, it’s so much overhead to involve others that it’s easier to just handle myself.” But I’m sure I’m not asking nearly enough.
Help me! What strategies do you have here?

it might help to reframe that: how do you feel when you can help someone else?
I assume it‘s somewhere on the positive spectrum, and allowing others to feel the same is a good deed

another question to ponder: what helped you asking for help now? maybe there‘s a resource there that you can tap into more often.

A friend told me a story about another friend successfully haranguing them for failing to ask for help, and that made me realize I needed a similar intervention.
