Small things by themselves can often seem insignificant, and its only with higher numbers that they may have an impact.
Have you ever looked at yourself and thought:
This shouldn’t be a problem, I don’t want to cause a fuss, others have it worse, I mustn’t ask for help?
Have you compared your stresses to others and rated yours unworthy?
Have you gone it alone to avoid the vulnerability?
Its easy to hide in a place of isolation if you think your stresses are invalid, and the other option is full of unknowns. The possibility of actually having to face something that is holding you back can be a fearful and vulnerable place.
