Are you a tower of strength?

Many of us pride ourselves on being self sufficient, helpful and reliable.  We are the ones who coined the phrase ‘Keep calm and carry on’!  We often like to work alone, prefer not show our feelings, in fact we’ll usually say ‘I’m fine’ no matter how we’re actually feeling!

But don’t let us fool you, we’re usually quite worried that you’ll see us as vulnerable if we say what we feel because we think you’ll see us as weak.  So don’t expect us to ask for help.

Help us out by not taking us for granted.  Give us a surprise treat.  And if you want something done, give us clear instructions.

If this is you, be strong enough to ask for help when you need it and know that you can learn to express your feelings safely.
