One thing I've always had a problem dealing with is accepting help when I describe a problem. Usually, if I'm looking for help, I'll ask for it. Unsolicited help in response to a gripe I make or a problem I just mention... I'm not so good with it.
I do believe I'm getting better. In an e-mail last week to a number of non-LJ friends, I described my new work situation, much as I'd done here. One of them offered help if I need it, and I actually took it.
Actually, come to think of it, two other folks have offered help with this and I'm taking it. One guy's just given help without me asking for it, which I still find myself bristling at... (but that's just his way, I've already learned). It's a different feeling for me. A humbling one, I suppose.
No, that's wrong, humbling is the situation I've found myself in, getting laid off. Enabling, I suppose, is what I'm actually feeling in taking the proffered help.
