Showing and telling people your weaknesses does not make them help you in most cases, if not all. In fact, quite the opposite. It often teaches them how to hurt you with more precision since they now know your pressure points. If a goat cries to a leopard, it only tells the leopard where to find it and kill him. Do you have a weakness? Welcome to Earth. We all have weaknesses. But the weakest weakness is advertising your weakness!
