Pretty Please-Learning to Ask for Help

I feel like a newish woman-partly because my birthday is soon approaching (March 17) . I’ve experienced so much growth and development; personally and career wise. I feel like people are starting to hear me but admittedly, I’m not asking enough questions.

I am still struggling to ask questions-the hard questions. I am an introvert who moonlights as an extrovert. As long as a conversation doesn’t center on personal issues or concerns I can talk and talk and talk and talk. If it does, I will usually joke and refocus the conversation away from myself. I am also guilty of when I do share, I will limit myself because I have taken up too much time and/or space.

I didn’t realize my Achilles heel is asking for help but I learned today! I am better at advocating or supporting others but will go radio silent, downplay or even lie about how I am. Outside of my small support group, which is my family, I struggle to ask, even my friends who want to help.

My style and personality take up so much space. I am wearing a hot pink metallic jumpsuit! I suggest you ignore the post and go straight to the fashion. I did tell you that I am still learning and prefer sarcasm more than sympathy. I like to use my birthday blog post to reflect and here are some other posts for you to check out.

In my Wendy Williams voice, “How you doing?” I think that is a harder question to answer than many people may think.
