At about five o’clock one morning, a not-so-big truck was parked in the middle of the road.
A middle-aged man was driving the small truck. He got out of his driver’s seat and looked under his car.
It was easy to guess that the small truck had engine trouble.
“what’s wrong?”
I called out. He said he was in trouble because the engine suddenly stopped.
He said he wanted to move the little truck somewhere else.
Then I replied that the two of us should push the vehicle.
I pushed the truck with both hands from behind the small truck. Unexpectedly, the truck began to move slowly.
That’s when I realized I couldn’t see the driver.
A small truck moved to the shoulder.
And when I looked in the driver’s seat, the man was sitting there.
He sat in the driver’s seat while I pushed the little truck.
- What are the downsides of getting help?
- There may be downsides to getting help, such as:
Developing dependency: If you continue to receive support, you may become unable to solve problems on your own and become dependent on support.
Low self-esteem: Some people may feel embarrassed about receiving help. Receiving support may also reduce one’s own abilities and self-esteem.
Recognition from others: Receiving support can affect how you are viewed by those around you. For example, the person receiving support may be viewed as weak.
Terms of Assistance: Assistance may be subject to conditions and restrictions. For example, there may be conditions that require you to make certain actions or decisions, or stay in certain places.
Insufficient support: Insufficient support can leave unsolved problems that could otherwise be resolved. In addition, support may be terminated earlier than expected.
These downsides show that getting help is not always the best choice for everyone. However, if it is necessary to get help, it is important to properly assess your own situation and condition to determine if getting help is the best option.
