单选题

There are many understandable reasons why you might find it difficult to ask for help when you need it. Psychologists have been interested in this _1_ for decades, not least because people’s widespread _2_ to ask for help has led to some high-profile failures.
Asking for help takes _3_. It involves communicating a need on your part—there’s something you can’t do. _4_, you’re broadcasting your own weakness, which can be _5_. You might have _6_ about losing control of whatever it is you’re asking for help with. _7_ someone starts to help, perhaps they’ll take over, or get credit for your earlier efforts. Yet another _8_ that you might be worried about is being a nuisance or _9_ the person you go to for help.
If you struggle with low self-esteem, you might find it especially difficult to _10_ for help because you have the added worry of the other person _11_ your request. You might see such refusals as implying something _12_ about the status of your relationship with them. To _13_ these difficulties, try to remind yourself that everyone needs help sometimes. Nobody knows everything and can do everything all by themselves. And while you might _14_ coming across as incompetent, there’s actually research that shows that advice-seekers are _15_ as more competent, not less.
Perhaps most encouraging of all is a paper from 2022 by researchers at Stanford University that involved a mix of contrived help-seeking interactions and asking people to _16_ times they’d sought help in the past. The findings showed that help-seekers generally underestimate how _17_ other people will be to help and how good it’ll make the help-giver feel (for most people, having the chance to help someone is highly _18_).
So, bear all this in mind the next time you need to ask for help. _19_, take care over who you ask and when you ask them. And if someone can’t help right now, avoid taking it personally. They might just be too _20_, or they might not feel confident about their ability to help.
