Former The Queen actress, Zenande Mfenyana, recently opened up about her hesitance to accept help from others. This discussion arose when a social media user expressed their preference for struggling rather than risking having someone throw their help back in their face.
Zenande Mfenyana resonated with this sentiment and shared her own perspective with her followers.
In her post, Zenande revealed, “This is why I never ask anyone for help…” Her words shed light on a common fear many people have when it comes to seeking assistance. The fear of potential judgment or having favours held against them can often outweigh the benefits of receiving help.

While it’s important to be self-reliant and independent, it’s equally important to recognize that asking for help is not a sign of weakness. In fact, it takes courage to reach out and admit that we can’t do everything on our own.
Unfortunately, negative experiences or past encounters where help was used against us can leave a lasting impact. However, it’s crucial to remember that not everyone will respond in the same way. There are individuals who genuinely want to lend a hand without any ulterior motives.

Building a supportive network of friends, family, or professionals who have our best interests at heart can help alleviate these fears. Surrounding ourselves with people who genuinely care can create a safe space where asking for help is seen as a strength, not a weakness.
So, let’s remember that accepting help doesn’t make us any less capable. It’s okay to lean on others from time to time. After all, we’re all on this crazy journey called life together.
