[brains] accepting/asking for help

[wispfox]

Bits of words that I thought needed a wider audience.


"It's difficult, for me at least, to consider that my perspective on things inside my head might not be accurate to reality, because then I have to face the terrifying possibility that _none_ of what's in my head might be accurate to reality. Instant recipe for insanity, that!

Accepting help implies (in my head) that what I do is not enough. And perhaps will never be enough. I hate that.

But not accepting help ever puts too much of the burden on myself. And that's bad and self-defeating."

--

I have _very_ much difficulty accepting help, and more difficulty yet asking for it. But I ask anyway. And I accept anyway. Because I am not someone who can cope with everything, all the time, on my own. Not and remain reasonably sane, happy, and stable.

Oh, I regularly use "spice" as the plural. But it just confuses people in uninitiated company...
*nods* It would have certainly confused me, as "spice" or "spices" tangents me to cooking. (Must've been some really strong spices... and smart too to be able to distinguish things)

*adds to vocabulary*
