I always told carry out boys in the super market," The day will come when I will need your help, today isn't one of them." Guess what, today I ask them and don't mind a bit.<br />If I can't do it myself, I don't hesitate asking for help,generally of someone I have previously helped. I know how good it makes me feel to help, so why deny some one else that pleasure?<br />I always assume if someone offers help, they mean it, I know I do.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-70329566457964600032010-01-28T21:40:46.673-06:002010-01-28T21:40:46.673-06:00Just relax lay back and you will pop to the top.

We want to be in control of ourselves ... ...not controlling women....just in control of ourselves. It's the same with drinking. One glass of wine is enough for me as I don't ever want to not be in control. I don't think it's pride or arrogance. I think it's fear. Fear that we will loose control. Make sense to anyone?<br /><br />MargeMargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398347951744910818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-32054173717567193782010-01-28T16:41:11.167-06:002010-01-28T16:41:11.167-06:00Oh, you and I have so much in common!

Or fear of bothering someone because we've had people take advantage of our help before? I don't know but it seems so strange to me.<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-81348986872016630632010-01-28T15:41:42.058-06:002010-01-28T15:41:42.058-06:00I love helping people and always say "now rem...I love helping people and always say "now remember I am here if you need anything!" Of course most people are like you and me and I never hear anything. It is very difficult for me to ask for help also...maybe I will appear weak. I would never want to appear vulnerable. Yes, it is a sad part of my personality.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038852623250026662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-31828781003928123742010-01-28T15:32:10.522-06:002010-01-28T15:32:10.522-06:00We are an awful lot alike.

My husband calls it the martyr syndrome. I blame it on being an independent, strong woman that takes care of herself. So, yes I do believe there is that evil thing called pride involved and for me it's not arrogance but a control issue. It's very hard to let go of things. I take them to God and then go grab them back!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060722558029419610noreply@blogger.com
