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.
