People don’t need to toughen up. If they’re struggling they are already tougher than you realize and maybe tougher than you can imagine.

Yet even the toughest can’t go it alone forever. Nor should they have to. Sucking it up isn’t healthy and it isn’t a bragging point. It is unwise.

If you need help, you need help. Nobody has the right to tell you that you don’t.

This idea that we have to be rugged individualists is bull puckey and is probably responsible for a lot of suicides especially among men.

All people thrive with support and without it they crash and burn eventually.
