Acknowledge Your Problems!

May be one of the reasons I never call my friends for help when I'm facing problems is I acknowledge that they are my problems and not the problem of someone else. I don't want to bother my friends that much since I believe they have their own problems, and as their friends I do not want to add the burden they carry. Moreover, I do not want to keep relying too much on others since that could become a habit, and that is a bad one. Till now, I'm still relying on my parents and someday I won't.

By the way, I love helping others and sometimes that could lead to a bad thing, for instance, end our friendship. I guess good intentions are not enough. I have this friend, called Bobby(not his real name). I used to help him a lot and I think he kept on depending on me. And one day, I was facing my own problems and could not help him like I used too. Then I refused to help him since I need more time to solve my problems. As a result, he got angry with me and end our friendship.

My parents taught me to acknowledge my own problems and never blame others. "Human beings have inborn tendencies that are destructive to themselves, to others, and to society." They said.
