The highly sensitive person (or HSP) is someone who cares deeply about everything ... feels emotions with great intensity ... is highly conscientious ... has a rich and complex inner life ... is very intuitive ... is often creative in a variety of ways... is easily overwhelmed and/or overstimulated. A HSP needs lots of quiet time,space, and freedom. If this sounds...
Don't you just dread asking other people to help you?
I used to be told I was co-dependent because I wanted to do almost everything by myself. They said it was because I feared the detection of incompetence or the loss of control in my little world.
That wasn't the real reason. The reason I don't like asking for help is because I am anxious about annoying other people who don't want to take time to help me.
Are you like that too? Do you find it hard to overcome yourself, and ask someone to help you?

Sometimes I don't want to bother others. Sometimes I want to fix something myself because I'd be embarrassed if someone found out my mistake (like that time I got myself locked into a bathroom at my college in the middle of the night).
But mostly I'm stubborn.
Weissdorn it seems like you've never been able to act anyway without someone telling you you're co-dependent. Who are these people? LOL Seriously, I wish people would pay more attention to their own problems sometimes instead of trying to fix everyone else.
