Reason vs Excuse

5 reasons why I Hate to Ask for Help:

1. I was never taught how.
2. I love my independence.

3. I don't think to ask... I have created singular life grounded in self-sufficiency. I am so caught up in the habit of taking care of myself that I lose sight of when I might need help.
4. It’s easier to do it myself. This category includes the resistance to the law of quid pro quo; give and take; tit-for-tat; you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.
5. And, of course, fear
