助けを求める勇気 | 泽茜 刘 | TEDxWHHW Youth

助けを求めることは、問題を一人で解決するよりも難しく感じられることがあります。話し手のSusanは、個人的な経験と心理学の研究をもとに、他者に支援を求める際に弱い、迷惑だ、能力がないと見られることを恐れる理由を探ります。講演の主旨は、支援を受け入れることは自立の失敗ではなく、人間であることの基本的な一部だということです。この講演は、TED形式に従って独立して運営される地域のTEDxイベントで行われました。

• 簡単な助けを求めることが一人で問題を解決するより難しく感じる理由
• 弱い、迷惑、能力がないと見られることへの恐れ
• 支援を受け入れることは人間の基本的な一部であるという考え方

Sometimes, asking for four simple words—“Can you help me?”—can feel harder than solving the problem ourselves. Drawing on a personal experience and psychological research, Susan explores why we fear appearing weak, inconvenient, or incompetent when we ask others for support. Her message is a powerful reminder that accepting help is not a failure of independence, but a fundamental part of being human. I am currently the Vice President of the Student Union, where I have hosted numerous school events and honed my public speaking and leadership skills. Academically, I earned an overall score of 6.0 on my first IELTS test, demonstrating my English proficiency and ability to learn and adapt quickly. Beyond the classroom, I have also achieved outstanding results in equestrian sports, where I have developed discipline, resilience, and a strong sense of responsibility—qualities that shape how I approach both my studies and my role as a student leader.
