How comfortable are you asking for help & support?
Hello, dear.
I am recording my first Racket and wanted to share a few thoughts.
Let’s talk about asking for help. Asking for support.
How do you feel about it?
Do you feel comfortable asking for help? Asking for support?
I am not talking about asking for a small help in maybe some work or asking for financial help.
I am talking about things that make us comfortable.
How comfortable are you to ask someone for help, If you are not feeling well?
How comfortable are you telling someone that you need support, you need help?
You are finding it difficult.
You are not feeling well, you're feeling down, you are feeling sad.
You are feeling lonely.
You are feeling Afraid.
Specially if you have always been a so-called strong person, if the people in your life, if the people surrounding you, they always consider you as a strong person.
If you have always been the support, help for the people in your life, then it's not very easy asking for help.
Asking for support.
And this is why so many people suffer from so many mental health issues. Or even if it's not a specific clinically diagnosed mental health issue, like depression, so many people deal with so many difficulties alone in life, because our society, kind of convinced us that it's a sign of weakness - If you ask for help.
It's a sign of you're not strong.
If you need support, if you tell someone that you are not feeling well, society has brainwashed you to believe that you are weak, but that's not true at all.
And let me tell you that, it's not healthy at all.

Does 'Honesty' still matter?
Let's explore this topic together in my 1st podcast.
And let me be very honest about my broken English (I am still working on improving) as well. Hope you'll excuse my imperfect & inaccurate English, and get my message that's straight from my heart.
I've been very honest throughout my life. That sometimes made life a bit difficult, but I can tell you that it was worth it!
I've been honest
- during exams never ever cheating
- as an Entrepreneur, never ever selling anything that wouldn't add value
- as a life partner, never ever hiding anything from the love of my life
And above all, I've been very honest with myself, always.
I'd love to know what's your experience with honesty. You can send me a voice message here or write to me @souravghosh on Twitter or Instagram.
