If you don’t feel comfortable paying directly for support, you may want to consider forming a partnership with someone to create a mutual support system.
By conducting joint training, study sessions, and collaboration, you can expect to be able to cover points that are difficult to manage on your own.
If it is difficult to form a direct partnership, look for ways to get others to help you indirectly.for example“I’m going to start dieting and will lose ◯ kilograms in three months, so please keep an eye on me!”Making such a declaration to the people around you is also an indirect way to play a supporting role. Depending on your ingenuity, you can obtain leadership and support roles in various ways.
