Asking for Help
Needing to ask someone for assistance or a favour.
30-Second Summary
Asking for help can feel like admitting inadequacy. For people with RSD, the fear of being seen as "too much" or a burden often prevents asking at all.
Key Insight
Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. It means you're self-aware enough to know your limits and smart enough to use resources. Everyone needs help sometimes.
Right Now
If you need help, ask. People generally WANT to help when they can. Most people are honored to be asked, not burdened by it.
