Why I am a crazy, stubborn, bull-headed by aprylmae 2008-11-07 13:28:59
PITA who dislikes accepting help.

I have been putting thought into this since bitflipper asked me about it. And there are quite a few reasons for this. But mainly, even when I was a young child growing up, I always took care of everyone around me. And anytime I asked for something for myself, or even accepted something for myself that was offered without me asking, I was treated like I was being selfish. So I stopped asking, and started saying no when offers were made. To this day, when I have something wrong with me or bothering me, and I mention it to my family (not hubby and kidlets, they are great, as in parents/siblings), all I hear from them is how much worse they have/had it. And how lucky I am.

So, even though I am working on it, I still can't bring myself to accept help from people without feeling like I am being selfish and ungrateful. Because somehow even if I think the rest of the world deserves something good, I don't feel like I deserve it.
