"But I've tried asking for help and they refuse to help me -- they either pretend they don't hear me or they make fun of me!"
Alright, let's clear up some confusion:
You are NOT begging for help.
You are NOT on your knees, sobbing and snotting all over hoping that they will have mercy on you.
You do NOT treat them like they are your savior that you will prostate over after they "saved" you.
You do NOT put them on the pedestal.
When you see a Queen asking her consort for help -- what does she looks like?
Is she on her knees begging and snotting all over -- hoping that her consort will save her?
No? Of course not. Because she isn't putting that person on the pedestal.
She is gracing the consort with her KINDNESS by ALLOWING him to help her and be her "hero" for the day.
Read that again.
YOU are gracing the lucky person your KINDNESS by ALLOWING said person to help you and be your "hero/heroine" for the day.
You give them the validation they have been so desperately seeking all their lives. YOU make them feel like they are worth something. YOU.
YOU are the oasis in the desert that everybody has been desperately seeking all their lives. YOU.
You are NOT a dummy dumb-dumb that can't think for yourself how to solve the problem -- you are GIVING them the chance to experience the helper's high, the chance to feel like they are doing something good.
You allow other people to help you. You give them the chance to help you. You are the one GIVING them a gift -- a gift of kindness.
So if those dumbasses can't see past whatever the hell's wrong inside their stunted brain -- THAT'S ON THEM.
Move on. Avoid those people like a plague, stop giving them your attention. Stupid people can stay stupid all they want -- that's not your problem.
Go find people that are WORTHY of accepting your gift of kindness.
Stay safe.
I get kind of sheepish and awkward whenever I ask for help, as if I should know everything already and be able to do everything myself. I don't why I feel so much shame, people ask for help all the time
