BJ,
Have you ever noticed that most people are flattered when you ask them for help?
They like feeling like feeling helpful and important -- lots of people -- not everyone.

But yes, I agree with your statement that strong people can ask for help. It is another one of those things that we learn to do -- ask for help.
