I don't think that receiving help and support from others makes you less resilient. If anything, having a robust system of social supports makes you even more so.
It’s up to subjective tastes i suppose, but for me personally, i see that if you need to rely on higher up people to assist you in things, that shows you’re less resilient than they may be, especially in this situation, as if it weren’t for them we wouldn’t have succeeded in the first place whereas on the other hand they seemed to have been well off without us.
