I tend to be a take charge, solve problems type of person. I wouldn't describe myself as a people pleaser -- I usually stick up for my own rights and don't let people walk all over me -- but I do find it extremely difficult to admit weakness or ask other people to help me when I need it. Even at work, where I have people who I supervise, I do everything I can not to ask them to work extra hours or take on extra responsibilities, even when I am working long hours myself to make a deadline. This is something I am trying to change. We all need help from others sometimes and I need to learn that there is nothing shameful about that.
