“I've let pride stop me from asking for help I actually needed.”
Pride that prevents you from getting what you need is not strength, it's ego in a costume. Real strength includes knowing your gaps and closing them efficiently. Asking for help when you need it is a sign of self-knowledge, not weakness.
Your Practice
Name what you've been struggling with alone. Identify one person who has the knowledge or capacity to help. Reach out to them this week with a specific, direct ask, not a vague hint, a clear request. Practice the sentence before you send it: "I need help with ___. Can you ___?"
