I suspect sometimes we feel it’s tougher, stronger or somehow virtuous not to need support
Yeah, agree. I think the solution to this is just for more people to stand up and admit they need support, and for us to reward those people for doing so, so that it becomes more socially acceptable. This can be hard to do though, of course. But it’s easy to forget that everyone is trying to project their most confident image, and that we may not always be as confident as we try to project!
Thanks Dette :)
