Giving help is easier for me too. But I am both an empath and an educator so I have two specific strong drives for why I want to help.
I’d like to offer up to all of us who are less comfortable with receiving help that, if you can accept your own desires to help another person as sincere, then you can more easily accept help from another too. Many people have sincere desires to help and we should not let our own discomfort keep us from accepting that sincere help. Remember too that giving help to another also raises our own self esteem...so let someone help you even just so they can feel good too.
