A way you can tell if a problem is big or small is how bad the problem is for example if you got into a car crash that’s a big problem
but if you dropped a can of soda that’s a small problem
a way you can tell if you need help is again the example with the car crash you need help with that so you call the police
if you dropped the soda you can clean it yourself
if the problem is small enough you’ll know like forgetting to clean a dish or fork that’s a problem you can let go
