People's Fear of Asking for Help and Respecting Boundaries

Many people are afraid to ask for help because they fear damaging relationships or their reputation. However, this only allows bold and presumptuous individuals to ask for help, which is not ideal. The author encourages others to overcome this fear and ask for help, as they are more than willing to assist. The author also believes that individuals should be allowed to set their own boundaries and have the freedom to say no. It is disrespectful for others to assume what someone's boundaries are without giving them a chance to consider the request. The fear of being told no often prevents people from asking for help, but the author suggests that exploring this fear in therapy can be beneficial.
