I guess it goes back to the bit where I have difficulty asking for help. Not because I don't want it, but because I don't want to burden people with my problems. And YES, I realise that's an intensely irritating attitude, I do -- my mother is just like that, and she pisses me off no end. Especially because most of the time people WANT to help me, and are just waiting for me to get my emotionally retarded head out of my arse and ask, but there it is. I'm much more used to giving help -- and like you, I do so willingly, happily, even; but I find it hard to believe that people would want to help me, because I'm an idiot like that, don't think I don't know it. /shakes head at self despairingly
