Could you give a more concrete example of the kind of assistance you're looking for? For instance, do you need help with deciding on what you want to eat for dinner tonight? Or perhaps, do you need help with carrying something? Homework?

Flow is right. Doesn't hurt to ask.

I think you just proved your own point. You really don't know how to ask for help! :confused:

What kind of abstract assistance do you need?

PM if you want to talk about baseball or anything else.

Or try these guys: http://forum.infjs.com/

They seem to know stuff without knowing much about it.

*ineffectually tries to bat away the sticky ennui and apathy pervading the room*

I tried? :D

When it comes to psychological help I'd have to say it depends. People don't know how to help most of the time. They are quick with hugs and sympathy but actually being able to talk it out with you is hard for most people. I tend to just need someone I can bounce my own conclusions off of anyway. I've got a couple of friends for that. It usually ends with me asking, "am I crazy?".

When it comes to getting help moving furniture I tend to be the person doing the helping. I have moved a lot of people's crap for them.

In seriousness though, I have a couple friends and a some family that can help if I need it. However, most of the time I find that I have to be able to help myself before anything really gets done. Friends and family are great if you have a specific thing you want them to do. If you need that sort of generalized "help" that we all need then you are up a creek.
