That is a positive way of looking at it.

I started thinking "well, I could probably just drive, or I can call this friend, etc." Then I finally said, no I am not supposed to drive so I am not going to. I talked with the secretary and she figured it out for me. It is difficult for me to have to ask for help.
I like the way you look at that! Good for me to try!

I am exactly the same way. I have issues asking for help AND saying yes as well. I'm glad you did it though! Your safety was obviously an issue with the driving! I hope I can get to the point where I am asking for help in real life too !
