Seek support from others and ask for help when needed from "summary" of The Confidence Gap by Russ Harris
When you're facing a challenge or feeling overwhelmed, it can be tempting to try to go it alone. You might believe that asking for help is a sign of weakness, or you might worry about burdening others with your problems. But the truth is that seeking support from others is not a sign of weakness – it's a sign of strength. As human beings, we are social creatures. We thrive on connection and community. When we try to tackle our problems on our own, we are denying ourselves the opportunity to benefit from the wisdom, experience, and perspective of others. When we reach out for help, we are not only showing vulnerability, but also demonstrating courage and resilience. Asking for help is a skill that can be developed and honed over time. It involves overcoming our fears and insecurities, and being willing to be open and honest with others about our struggles. It also requires us to let go of our pride and ego, and to acknowledge that we don't have all the answers. When we ask for help, we give others the opportunity to support us and to show us kindness and compassion. We also give ourselves the chance to learn and grow from the experience. By seeking support from others, we are not only strengthening our relationships, but also boosting our own confidence and self-esteem. So the next time you find yourself in need of assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to others. Remember that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength. Embrace the support and guidance that others have to offer, and watch as your confidence and resilience grow.
