Some say when you are involved in a tough situation, or when depressed, or ill. Those things show us how powerless we can be, and we began to reach outside ourselves for a resolution.
During a recent grieving situation, I couldn't find my own strength but when I connected with many different friends asking for their thoughts and prayers, I felt better. Looking back, I wouldn't ordinarily have shared my situation with many people, but because of my own powerlessness, I needed those who would understand and care.
I think we are supposed to share our troubles and our joys with each other. That seems both humbling and spiritual.
