Unfortunately, our society teaches us (implicitly or explicitly) that we should all be able to make it on our own, and that asking for help is a sign of weakness. Yet, when we do something wrong or make a mistake, we'll be quick to contend that we're human, and thus imperfect. Well, given that that's true, shouldn't it be accepted that we're not able to do everything on our own?
"No man (or woman) is an island." That's why we live in families at home and at cliques at school, just like lions live in prides, wolves in packs, elephants in herds, etc, etc. Heck, girls rarely even go to the bathroom alone.
The point is, we, like most other animals, aren't supposed to carry on by ourselves. We need people to help uswhen our burdens get too heavy.
It's society that has it wrong. Not you. Ask for help.
