to lean on
phrasal verb
Rely on someone for support or help
- 1Whenever I'm stressed, I lean on my best friend.
- 2You can always lean on me for advice.
When you lean on someone, you trust them to help you when you need support or assistance. It's like depending on a friend or family member to be there for you when you're feeling down or facing a problem.
Remember, leaning on someone is not a sign of weakness, but a way to build a strong support system. It's important to reciprocate and be there for others when they need you too.
