People are hardwired to want to do things on their own and be independent-minded, Bouchard says

Asking for help often makes people feel uneasy because it requires surrendering control to someone else. "There are some people who really have a hard time with that piece of it," she says.

Another fear is being perceived as needy. "We don't want to be ashamed of our situation, or come across as incompetent," she says. "So we work really hard to make sure people don't see us this way." This idea is amplified during the Covid-19 crisis: You may feel that people have their own worries to take care of, so yours aren't significant

Some people are also afraid that they'll be shunned or rejected if they ask for help. "We make a lot of excuses for not making the request," she says. The irony is that most often, people do want to help. "Our most natural response is to say, 'Sure, I can help you,'" she adds.With practice, you'll get used to asking for help, Bouchard says. Taking opportunities to ask for help in smaller ways when you'd otherwise balk can really make a difference over time. For example, speaking up if you need help connecting to a video call, or asking a neighbor to pick up a food item you need on their next grocery run.

Another practical strategy is to reframe your request so it's a conversation, rather than a transaction, she says.

"It's not just saying, 'You help me,' it's, 'I've got a problem or challenge and I could really use your help. Let's talk it through and see what we can come up with together.'" Not only does that feel more respectful to the recipient, but it also allows you to develop a deeper connection with the person who you're asking for help, she says.

On that note, you should spend some time thinking about the friends, neighbors or family members in your life who you consider your "support team," Bouchard suggests. You can literally ask these individuals if it's okay that you count on them for support during this time.

"Try to create this team of helpers, so that asking for help later on when you really need it isn't such a big deal," she says.

Remember: Often people are willing to provide help. If someone doesn't have time or resources to help you, it's still a good idea to talk and explore how you can make something work for both of you, she says.

"It may be that the person that you're talking to can't help you, but they know someone who can," she adds.
