Pride Comes Before the Fall (ABTM) · 3:58am May 3rd, 2019
As humans (yes, that means you), we are prideful creatures. We don't like showing signs of weakness or restraint, especially men. It doesn't matter if you're jock or a nerd or even a homosexual, we don't like showing how vulnerable we are. Showing this vulnerability allows others to hurt us more. No one likes that. No one wants to be manipulated.
Because of this fear of being hurt, everyone tries to show that they're not vulnerable or weak in some way. Everyone does it, and it is something we all must battle with. Some people are violent, they push others around, they're incredibly cruel or inhumane. Some people try not to interact with others. After all, you can't be manipulated if there's no one around to manipulate you.
Another way is by refusing help from others. Asking for help indicates that you can’t handle something yourself.
I guess that would have to be the first step though to solving any of this: Asking for help.
May your days be filled with helpful people.
