As I get older, I'm finding balance with maintaining my independence and admitting when I might need a little help. Always been quite self-reliant, and the thought of asking for support feels like losing a bit of my freedom. How does one decide when to do things on your own versus when to accept assistance?
Yup. Everyone keeps telling me to accept more help but its hard. Been independent my whole life and dont want that to change. But yeah my knees arent what they used to be so maybe they have a point sometimes
Was so stubborn about this until I fell trying to change a lightbulb. Now I let my kids help with some stuff but still do most things myself. Still hate asking tho
its complicated right? some days i want help and others i get so mad when people try to do stuff for me. no advice just saying youre not alone
Dealing with this too. Never needed help before but lately some things are harder. My neighbor offered to help with yard work and I actually said yes. Felt weird. but kinda nice too
