^^ I have no idea how you guys do it ... I have built my entire life on ensuring I may NEVAR need help from anyone for anything. This hasn't worked 100%, but I'm getting there, I think ...
It's not just the choking insurmountable embarrassment I will feel for not being able to stand up by myself, it's the entire feeling of being at the mercy of someone else. It's the equivalent of me being told "son, you were thrown in the water and you did not swim..., so you left it up to someone else to determine whether to pull you out or let you sink!"
Don't get me wrong, I by no means judge anyone who busks/panhandles/spanges, I'm just relaying how I have felt my entire life when it came to asking for help from even my parents.
