well I already said it. I do not like being needy, wanting attention, and pulling on people's emotional heart strings. A friend of mine said she feels bad about not being able to be there for me. I understand her and I know she really does want to help. I do not want people to view me as weak and in need of their help all the time however. We all need help though at times..but I wish people could see me as a person they want to be with for what I can give them, for what I have to offer, rather than feeling like they need to lift me up, give to me.Being in need of help-and being able to help others-are both loving ways to be---it is just I tend to be more on the "in need of help" too much of the time. I feel weak, and full of shame about this....
