Khloe Kardashian has never been regarded as a person who is not responsible in her family and social circle. She is always the first person to be called by someone who is struggling with a personal issue, has a tough choice to make, or just requires an emotional support. Through the years, she has established a reputation of being caring, protective and ready to stand with the people she loves. But Khloe has recently confessed that although she is quick to offer assistance to others, she struggles a lot to seek assistance when it is her turn to need it.
Recently, the reality star was open about this struggle in an interview. Khloe, 41, told her that she has grown so accustomed to being the super woman everyone around her that seeking help is awkward. This is what she is in the process of working on in therapy, she told her.
“That’s my problem. That’s what I work on in therapy,” Khloe said.
Through her words a part of her has been brought out which many people can identify with. Such families or groups of friends usually have people who automatically turn into the problem-solvings, the listeners or the emotional back-up of others. With time they can start believing that they should always seem strong even when they are in pains.
The remarks made by Khloe demonstrate that being a reliable person does not imply that a person can do without support. The truth is, though, that those individuals who find themselves nursing others most of the time, can often struggle to acknowledge that they themselves need some care. They can be concerned that they are being a burden or that they do not have serious problems as others might be having.
Khloe cites an example of this when she talked about her sister Kim Kardashian. She mentioned that Kim would most likely be the first person she would call in case she needed someone to talk to. Yet, she is frequently persuaded not to even though she thinks about doing so.
I would refer to Kim most, but my personality, I will say, Ugh. Kim is studying the bar. She has four kids. She is acting, and I will take this list down in my head and be like, I will not bother her with my insignificant s— that I will get over in two days, she said.
The explanation provided by Khloe underlines one of the habits that most people go through. They start enumerating all the reasons why the other person is too busy, too stressed or too occupied to listen before requesting his/her assistance. They downplay their own feelings and convince themselves that what they are dealing with is not important enough to bring up.
As a matter of fact, intimate relationships tend to be based on support. Individuals who are concerned will tend to make time even when they are busy. This is recognized even by Khloe herself when she addressed the probable reaction by Kim.
“So that’s my brain. But I know Kim doesn’t care. She’ll be like, ‘Call me,’ ” she said.
Such a statement alone speaks volumes of how worry and overthinking can impact even the most resilient individuals. It is sometimes the greatest barrier that it is an obstacle because someone will not help, or will not help the person even before asking.
The fact that Khloe was open about the therapy is also crucial as it allows normalizing mental health talk discussions. Therapy was sometimes considered as something one only resorted to in times of great crisis, especially in many years. There are more celebrity voices today that speak candidly regarding using the therapy as a means of understanding themselves, enhancing their relationships, and addressing emotional habits that can be holding them back.
By speaking out, Khloe can inspire others to consider their actions. Most individuals who are ever ready to be with others never realise that they hardly give themselves time to be weak. They can give advice, resolve problems, and listen hours, yet remain unconcerned about their own problems.
Another personal revelation that the reality star experienced during the interview is as follows. She said that among her siblings, she believes she is probably the best judge of character. She believes in her capacity to read and understand people, situations and know who to trust. But she confessed that this ability is not always the case in her own love affairs.
The other reality that is expressed in that comment is that many people experience it. It is commonplace to provide clever tips to friends or family than it is to take the correct decisions in life. Emotions are a distortion of thought, particularly in relationships. One can easily notice the signs of danger in the case of a certain individual and fail to notice them in his or her own.
Khloe Kardashian has lived a lot of her life in the limelight, with millions of people observing her achievements as well as her misfortunes. Throughout the years, she has been frequently admired due to her integrity, strength, and humor. Nevertheless, her recent remarks indicate that even individuals who seem to be confident and strong might have a secret life that can be filled with feelings of loneliness, self-doubt, or hesitation.
Her frankness also teaches others that there is nothing wrong about seeking assistance. It is in a sense more fearless to confess weakness than to conceal it. It is nice to be the one that everyone is relying on but this can be very taxing when there is no balance to this.
