We love to support the people close to us but often hate asking for their help. What's that about? These 3 reasons could explain the disconnect, writes AndyLopata
We get pleasure from helping other people, but we find it difficult to ask for help for ourselves.We see vulnerability as a weakness, and it stops us from admitting that we need support.Think about the last time you helped someone you like.
There tends to be a lot of awkwardness associated with asking for help. The person asking feels on the back foot, aware that they are seeking a favour and not sure whether the person they are asking will appreciate their request. You can make it easy for people to help you by being clear and specific about your request. Avoid being vague, and make sure you are doing the work first, not leaving it to them. Ask for something that will be easy for them to understand and deliver., or otherwise preoccupied. And don’t sandwich your request quietly as an afterthought to a longer and deeper conversation about something else. Pick your moment and give your request the time and space to breathe..
“I feel that I’ve excelled in my current role and I’m ready for my next move. Would you work with me to help identify who I should be working with and make some introductions?”“I’m struggling in my current role and nobody is happy with my performance. Can you recommend me for something else?”People might not want to help you, they might not be able to help you, they may be too busy to help you, or they might not know how to help you.
