Do you find it hard to accept help?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I'm something of a perfectionist. And growing up, I was always kinda shamed for not being able to do everything by myself. So people will offer to help with something and my whole body wants to jolt 😂

And then let's say it's something like washing a car and I decided to rotate the cloth counter clockwise because I want the micro scratches in the paint to develop a consistent pattern as the car ages.

And I will see them wiping clockwise and my whole body will feel stiff but I'm like "dude, you're crazy just ignore it"

But then when I get to the part they were at I'll notice the tiny difference and it will drive me nuts.

You know what? 😱RINSE IT OFF. I GOT PLACES 👏🏼TO BE 👏🏼WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? 🤷🏼‍♂️SLAVE OVER THIS CAR ALL DAY? 🤌🏼IT'S GOOD ENOUGH 😂

I'm working on it and I'm not always that bad... Or maybe I am and the ones I notice are even worse than that.

Not really but it depends also what it's about. If I have strong feelings about something and think I know best then I'm less likely to accept help, but generally I don't mind.

No, I generally think those who interfere are looking to harm rather than help. Most people are shitty like that

[EzraIsShy76028]

Well kinda. Being very cynical and nihilistic I often tend to question if the person actually wants to help me or has ulterior motives.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I used to have that problem until I realized the logic behind it is kinda circular. Technically... Of course we all have ulterior motives.

Sometimes you just have to accept risk

no.. it does help getting help, it's less hard

[queenofcardio]

No, I'll accept if I need it.
