The Unexpected Truth About Needing Help: Are You Brave Enough to Face It?
Absolutely not! Only in your mind will you get caught with that kind of logic trap. Most people (when given the chance) are very happy to help.
Caveat: There are some people that revel in your challenges and pain. Whenever possible avoid them. When you find those people in your life make a note of it and in the future don’t ask for their advice.
When asking for help will it make you look bad? It might, if …
- A deadline has passed
- A critical milestone has been missed
- Someone has already offered you help and you didn’t accept it
The simple way to avoid looking bad in situations like this is to ask for help early. As noted above if you don’t know something or have a concern about what the specific deliverables or actions are… Ask!
