Does anyone ever feel like your friends sometimes deny you of your ability to be an even better friend?

I think it’s those who keep their troubles to themselves. The “I don’t want to burden you” friends.

Trust is built upon your ability to ask for help. I learned this not long ago and I believe it’s true.

I wouldn't frame it like that. I think the case is that they are unable to ask for help for whatever reason, maybe they unconsciously don't feel they deserve that help.

I've found that just letting them know that they can ask for help even for the tiny stuff (specially for that). They slowly open up, sometimes just being there to hear them helps a lot.

We are all learning and maybe asking for help and how to offer it is a learning experience

I think there are unspoken lines in friendship that don’t need to be said.. such as, I’m your friend, of course you can come to me for help.

Different flavours for different people but I do believe it’s true that it builds trust.

Do the experiment, try saying what is now unspoken I genuinely think you will be surprised for the better
