Sometimes, it frustrates me whenever I don’t get the kind of help I need. But then, when I try to look back at all that has been said and done, I try to see things from a different perspective, like how I may have communicated the concern badly and was misunderstood, so no help came.
In other instances, help came, but not the kind I expected, such as a half-hearted or mediocre contribution. Could I have communicated the need differently and gotten a better result?
So, here I am, thinking about what has been said and done and wondering how I could turn things around. Is asking for help a bad idea? Or maybe I have been asking for help from the wrong person or institution.
That sounds reasonable too.
Is there such a thing as help that falls short?
