Ep #8 Do You Hate Asking for Help?
Listen on
Episode notes
Hello...thanks for listening!
Do you hate asking for help? As introverts and highly sensitives (the most of us) do NOT like to ask for help like...ever. As introverts we're deep thinkers and we're in our heads and we're independent in that sense anyway. And if you're a highly sensitive (an empath or a highly sensitive person), the most of us have too much empathy and we don't want to "bother" anyone or "disturb" anyone so we don't like to ask for help due to that! We can be on the floor in agony and will still ask another person if "they're okay?".
My tips for us highly sensitive introverts if you never or hardly ever want to ask for help.
1. Ask for the help anyway! (It will feel like pulling teeth every.single.time but do it anyway.) ;-)
2. Think if the 'shoe was on the other foot'. Would you question a loved one if they asked YOU for help? Most likely not! You probably wouldn't even let them finish their sentence, you'd already be in the car or on your way to them! Lol!
3. Give yourself a 'pat on the back' after asking for help. Reward yourself. It really is a difficult thing for most highly sensitive introverts so give yourself "kudos" when you do! ;-)
4. "Rinse and repeat". It will never feel "comfortable" or "normal" but we gotta do it. It really is human nature to want to help others. No matter if you're a highly sensitive or not or an extrovert or not...most human beings genuinely like to help so let them! :) And more importantly stop trying to do everything yourself and causing yourself added stress and "heartache". Just do the dang thing. ;-) You'll be oh so happy that you did! :)
