My parents seldom encouraged me to ask for help, so I trained myself to become as independent as possible. I thought if I asked for help, I would be a problem to other people.
A few years ago, I was on a trip. In order to save money, I planned to stay in a stranger's house by couch surfing（沙发客）. When I arrived in the host's city, it was rainy.
My host was very friendly. She invited me to go on a walk with her around her city. At that time, I didn't even have the right shoes for the bad weather. I wanted to ask her whether she had any shoes for me. But I didn't want to trouble her. Finally, I said nothing.
It was really cold outside, and the heavy rain made my shoes wet. When we got home three hours later, I had lost all feeling in my feet.
That was all because I wouldn't ask. I wouldn't ask a simple thing like, "Hey, could you find a pair of good shoes for me?”
From that day, I tried hard to get through my fear of asking. It has taken me a long time. From my experiences, I've discovered that people are always happy to offer help. What's more, I have finally realized that asking isn't a sign of weakness（脆弱）. Asking gives you the opportunity to discover the kindness of others.
So ask. The worst that can happen is a "no". The best that can happen is an experience you'll never forget.
