5 Things to Remind Yourself If You Are Scared To Ask For Help

-
Although asking for help is a simple action yet it can be harder than a lot of people can realize. This is because it takes a lot of courage to admit that you can't do something on your own. This may make you feel afraid and vulnerable. One of the biggest hurdles in asking for help is to let go of your pride. Also, most of us believe that asking for help would show how weak we are.

Some of you may tell yourself that "I'll figure it out myself since I've always relied on myself in the past. So I can do it again." Everything will be fine for them until anxiety takes over. You'll start getting scared that someone might see through you and start to believe that you are incapable of doing the work. This is because the fear impacts both our mental and physical well-being. Physically living with fear weakens the immune system and causes fatigue, accelerated aging, depression and premature death. It will negatively affect your thinking a well as decision making and can also interrupt the brain process which regulates your emotions.


Be it feeling scared to tell your boss that you don't understand a project or you are embarrassed to talk to your doctor about depression, the longer you put off asking for help, the worse your problem will become.

So what can be done to push past your fear of asking for help? The following strategies will help you to conquer your limiting beliefs and your fear to ask for help once and for all:

  1. Asking for help shows strength, not weakness.
  2. You are not the only one who is struggling.
  3. Others get the opportunity to serve you.
  4. It will save time and reduce your frustration.
  5. This will help you in the long run.
