I am reading this book by Claire Nelson; Things I learn from falling, not finished yet so I’m just going to write this one particular thing about the personality of Ms. Nelson.
She likes to play it tough, no matter what happens I’ll be fine thank you, no I need not you help, I’m okay. Sincere gesture from any one offering help is turned down politely. Her emotions are suppressed up to the moment her body literally can’t contain all of her fear anymore.
I can relate with that, I too have this trait of personality…. Maybe not at Ms. Nelson extreme, but yes I like to do that. I am so reluctant to ask for anyone’s help. I consider asking for help is equal with weakness and I don’t want to be seen as weak.
