Having someone who is always ready to help us is a blessing

While growing up, I had difficulties accepting help from people who were not my family, even when I was badly in need of the help, when offered to me, I would still reject it... My heart wants it, but somehow I find myself saying no when people offer to help.

One day, I helped a woman in my community carry her load. When we got to her house, she offered me some money as a gift, but I said she should not worry, even though I was very hungry that day and I needed money so bad to eat... Luckily, she forced me to take the money, and my heart prayed for her.

Another day, my parents travelled and I lost my money, I already know there is nothing for me to eat until they are back, I went to one of my friend's house and his mum was cooking beans, when she saw me, she asked of my mum and I told her she travelled, when the food was done, she didn't ask me if I was hungry, she said go home and bring a plate so I can give you beans, you need to see how excited I was on that day, I was happy she did not ask me if I would eat because my answer would have been no.

Where did I learn this No from? Who taught me to always say No even when I needed what is being offered to me badly? My mum taught me not to collect things from strangers, but I have taken it to the extreme even with my friends; she didn't teach me that, I think it is just my personality.

I have a close friend back then who studied me and realized I always turn down everything he offers me, like when we are going out or walking together and he bought stuff and ask me if I want too, I will say No, so at a point he understand my predicament and stop asking me, he just buy mine too lol.

Nowadays, I still find it difficult to ask people for help because I do not want to burden anyone with my problem, and secondly I do not like rejections, it is hard for me to ask for help but not getting the help is another heart break on its own, so I rather die in silence with my problem than shame myself. We all have what we are facing... When I am down, I just disappear and reappear when I feel good again...Only in solitude can I find the comfort I desire.

We are in a world that we can't do everything on our own, and sometimes we will need the help of others, especially financial help... When it comes to borrowing money, there are two people that I can comfortably enter their dm and ask them for financial help, knowing that they won't turn me down if they have it. The first person is not on Hive anymore, while the second person is quduus1.

Recently, something tragic happened in my life, it was unexpected and came with a lot of expenses not budgeted for, and yet it needs to be wrapped up fast... I have money locked up in some places, but this matter needed urgent attention, and it can't wait.

I needed help and the first person that crossed my mind was quduus1, I entered his dm comfortably and within a few minutes, I got the fund I needed from him... It is good to have people like him in our lives who are always ready to help us when we need help.

Anytime, any day, I know he's got my back, and the feeling is mutual.

no one knows tomorrow as help can be needed at anytime so it is really important not to turn anyone down because we don't know who our saviour might be someday.

It’s good to know that he could help you, we all need people like him in our lives. I see myself saying no too much too because I don’t want to be a burden to anyone, sometimes it’s ok to let ourselves be helped

Seriously , I guess your strong stand come from your upbringing .... but saying you rather die than shame your self ...I get it i use to me like that but have to loosen up a bit cause weather in a way we like it, we can't do everything by ourselves....there's always a factor call help our lives

die in the context didnt mean real death, I mean i would rather bear it alone than voice out but I agree with you that we all have our limit and if things get worse at a point, we will be forced to ask for help.

I think it's good having the mentality of receiving help all the time. But sometimes we need the help badly and we must receive it as blessings because we need keep in mind that we are humans, not god. So, we need the help of others and surrounded by that kind of people means you are blessed one.

Sometimes we push help away out of pride or fear, but having someone like Quduus who understands and shows up when it matters is truly a blessing. We all need that one person we can lean on.

yea sometimes it is our ego that stops us from seeking help because we do not know if we will be help and we don't want to hurt our Ego

Anyone who would help would do so without asking if you needed help, I think that's the golden rule. Personally I don't like asking for help, that's because I've been disappointed many times when doing so, in the past

Our helper won't stress us. we don't even need to do anything before the help comes.
