Woman’s Powerful Twitter Thread Shows You Should Not Wait For Friends In Need To Ask For Help

There comes a time in a person’s life when he is so down and out that he just wants to be alone despite knowing that it won’t be of help in any manner. If such a person lives far away from family, his ultimate support system is undoubtedly friends.

Some friends wait for you to ask for help while there are some who analyze the situation and take action accordingly. At times, they might even take steps to help you without even asking you.

A writer, Sheila O’Malley whose Twitter handle is @sheilakathleen has narrated an incident in which her friend helped her and took some steps without even asking her or informing her.

1A bad phase

Sheila was going through a bad phase as her father passed away. She moved in to a new apartment but was feeling ashamed as there had been months but she was not able to unpack. She thought how someone could not unpack for such a long time. That was the year she cried for 19 days.

2A good friend from high school

David was Sheila’s good friend from high school and understood the importance of taking care of her. He knew that she was struggling and facing difficulties so he decided to do something which may have angered Sheila in return and might not have been good for their friendship but David was determined to take this step.

3David is fearless

In her own words, Sheila said that she could have been really offended but David was fearless and he decided to do what he felt was correct for Sheila. He sent an email to a group of local friends and told them that Sheila was struggling and she needed help.

4Thursday was finalized

David sent Sheila an email in which he asked her whether she would be at her home on Thursday and he could stop by. She replied in affirmative while sitting around 200 unpacked boxes. This was going to be unexpected for Sheila as David had planned something really surprising for her but how she would react was the question.
