Hyper independence is a curse

I’m not doing well at the moment and my friends asked if I needed anything.

I probably do need some support but I realized i would rather suffer along because I hate inconveniencing people.

I have such a hyper independence attitude that even if I was on fire and someone had a bucket of water I’d tell them I’m fine so that water didn’t get on their shoes.

I’m wonder how many other people think this way.
