Being overly self-reliant can lead to isolation, burnout, and a lack of diverse perspectives. It may hinder personal growth and limit opportunities for collaboration and learning from others. To maintain a balance between self-reliance and seeking support from others, individuals should recognize their strengths and limitations. They should be open to seeking guidance, feedback, and assistance when needed. Building a support network of trusted individuals who can provide different perspectives and expertise is crucial. Effective communication and setting boundaries can help individuals navigate between independence and seeking support without feeling overwhelmed or dependent on others.
