I’ve forgotten what it feels like to be offered help. Since moving to my new place (and breaking my hand), people have offered to make me food, move a bed etc etc which I never got at my previous places 😭 (3 years in Australia!!)
And I’m not generally good at accepting help because I don’t want to burden others. For ex my housemates bf asked me to join him for badminton and I told him I sadly couldn’t…and then he offered to help with anything! Jeez the bar is so low for me when it comes to people.
I have unfortunately learnt to always decline no matter the circumstance, because the ONE time I accepted, and despite insisting I pay them some money which was declined, I was accused of taking advantage of them.

Never again.
I know that feeling so well, glad you finally had a good experience!
