Trust issues
“I avoid asking for help from anyone because I don’t trust anyone. I believe if someone offers me a hand, there will always be something they [want to] ask in return. I have friends but I don’t have a best friend, I keep my distance from people. Automatically, my wall blocks anyone.”
When a caregiver isn’t emotionally or physically present, children tend to adopt a certain independence. This is often a necessity since if they don’t provide for themselves, no one else will. However, as an adult, this independence could turn into a lack of trust in others and an aversion to asking for help.
