Selfish

Two nights ago, someone I know told me something that has definitely left its impact on me.

Entertainment is a selfish career choice, until you get to a certain level, you need to be able to ask for help. 

And I agree with what this person told me; however, how am I supposed to ask for help when in my upbringing, I was raised to not rely on others but to rely on yourself, especially on matters that are of a personal nature?

Will I be able to answer this question honestly anytime soon? I'm not sure, but I do know that I still have a lot of maturing to do emotionally. I can't be the emotionless automaton that I have been for the past five years working in entertainment.
