I have a friend who is VERY
closed and private when it comes to her personal life. She gets it from growing up during a time, as
I have, where our parents would always say “What happens in this family stays
in this family.” Yes, Vegas was not the
first to coin the phrase. It was
followed with, “We don’t air our dirty laundry.”
There are some instances
where sharing our troubles with others is actually beneficial. My friend, who as I said normally would not
open up, did just that. In doing so she
got advice and a perspective that she hadn’t thought of herself.
The end result was she took
action that helped her immensely.
Without her opening up, she would not have
considered another option.
Many of us tend to think we
are being a burden. Many of us tend to
think we should be able to handle our own problems. Many of us tend to think we will be judged.
We all need help from
time-to-time. We all need support from
time-to-time. When you have a problem or
a situation that you can’t seem to handle on your own and someone you trust
offers help.
My advice? GRAB IT!
And, be grateful that someone took the time to be there for you.
