I dislike liars and flat tires. I HATE being an imposition on others! 
I don’t want to ask for help. In my thinking, there is no logical reason why I can’t do everything for myself: by myself. To ask for help puts an unnecessary burden on other people.
Is there anyone anywhere wo needs more demands placed on them? I suppose it is possible they exist. I have never met them.
There are positive results when you provide help to others, but this is no reason to be lazy. If I become over committed, why should I let my scheduling mistake become a burden for others?
Part of the reason I feel this way is because of my older brother. He imposed on other people his entire life. For him it was easier to ask for help than take the time to learn new skills. He believed his time was more valuable than other people’s time.
Sorry, this post has become a rant. It just seems like self sufficiency has become a lost goal.
This post was triggered by a comment by one of my readers who suggested I might find a new life partner. I don’t need more demands on my life. I don’t want to find a nurse or a purse. My ambition is to take care of myself.
One is a lonely number. I understand. I however am seldom wrong. I don’t play well with others.
Here is today’s beauty.
Yes, a lovely bird Dr. John. Being self-sufficient is a blessing. Since we are always hearing about people with cancer, diabetes, COPD, etc why do we seldom ever hear about a perfectly healthy person who is 80 years old or so? Is it possible in today's world. Yes, being healthy in mind and body, so that one can take care of themselves and be self-sufficient is worth all the rice in china!

True, when you depend on others today or tomorrow you and the person who is giving support to you can face problems, so better thing is improvising our self by learning new things and skills which inturn can lead you towards new opportunities and your dependency on others will reduce and loneliness is not curse, in some cases loneliness also really effective. Thanks for sharing and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

I think we are similar, cos I too don't like to ask for help, I don't like to be a bother and I don't want people talking to me harshly so I try as much as possible not to beg or impose on anyone. Nice one doctorjohn.

Today's post is deep. Asking for help is not totally bad but consistently makes it bad.
Back in my university days, I had few friends who are naturally lazy. They always call me for help with their assignment and still plead I help them submit it.
Bottom line, we all need help at some point in our life but shouldn't be always.
I always had that feeling like you, wanting to bother nobody and doing things on my own.

Yes.. I think in as much as reaching out to others is important... We must understand too that we are more important or of equal importance as to those we want to reach out to. This is because, a car cannot take you from one place to the other if it is not first a car. If the tyres are faulty, you cant enjoy the trip, if the breaklights are faulty, same problem. So as humans, every aspect of ourselves has to be taken care of before effectively reaching out to others

Fasting is very much felt real emotions, and even pain, which wanted to tell. Maybe it'll be easier now.
