As a Man… Why Is It So Hard To Ask For Help?

3d (edited) • Accountability & Brotherhood

Most of us grew up with the message that men should be strong, self-sufficient, and never show weakness. So we grind it out alone, even when the weight is crushing us.

But here’s the paradox... asking for help is not weakness, it’s strength. It’s choosing wisdom over pride, brotherhood over isolation.

Even the greatest warriors fought with a band of brothers. Even Jesus leaned on His disciples. Why should we think we’re meant to fight our battles solo?

So let’s be real:

👉 Why do you think men struggle to ask for help?

Your vote matters... but even more, your honesty matters. Drop your perspective in the comments. You never know who you might encourage by sharing your truth.

Pride – “I should be able to handle this on my own.”

Fear – “If I admit I need help, I’ll be judged.”

Control – “No one can do it the way I can.”

Trust – “I don’t believe others will show up for me.”

All of the above
