Do you think it is healthy to rely on other people every once in a while or should you be aiming to do most things yourself?

My theory is that you shouldn’t expect people to do anything for you, and if they do, be grateful for it. I’m terrible at asking for help with anything, I try to be more self sufficient. I don’t think it’s healthy to be relying on other people for everything. Some little things occasionally are alright, just don’t expect there to always be help. When you start expecting people to help you with everything you have problem with, then you’re just expecting too much from people and need to become more self reliant. To me, self-reliance is a virtue and everyone should aim for it.

I think you should never rely on anyone but yourself. If you get use to relying on someone at some point they might let you down and what are you to do then? Or if you do rely on someone at some point make sure you always have an alternative in case they were to let you down. If they let you down don’t be mad at them or yourself simply learn from your mistakes and make sure it doesn’t happen again, u might be disappointed for them letting you down but like i mentioned make sure you have an alternative so the disappointment won’t be as bad.

I think it’s good to have people to rely on, and I do have those people. But when you start relying on them too much, and doing little to nothing for yourself, is when it’s out of hand. I think it’s best to do most things for yourself, and rely on others when you can’t.

Sweetie it’s never to bad to rely on people, but it is BAD if you maintain your life on relying on them daily, See to be honest i relied on some people to much until they started betraying me, and all the time that i was betrayed by them it was happening in my FACE!! Try to put your self first and focus on what you look at when you glance into the mirror everyday. Please be more concerned about the choices you make!!

i think that it depends on the situation but i rely on people to do some things for me. if its something that is totally your problem and you drag someone into it just to rely on them, i think that that is a bad idea. but if they want to help with something, let them i say!
