Don't Forget To Say Thanks - Tumblr Posts

Why do people try to talk down someone who is offering help? "Oh, you don't have to do that for me." "I don't want you to go through the hassle." "Are you sure you want to?"

I don't think you understand - I wouldn't offer the help if I wasn't completely willing to do it, and I know many people are the same. No tricks, no strings attached; if it's offered to you, then it's okay to accept it.

Yes, there are cases where the person wants to do it alone, but if that's the reason then be honest about it instead of acting like you're trying to preserve my energy or something. Besides, this isn't the case most of the time (in my experience) - for some reason people are legitimately concerned about the person offering help.

You can never know what it truly means to give unless you learn how to receive.
