hmm, i'm often afraid to ask for things.
only if they look like they're going to kill me or in a bad mood i am
really? i rarely ever ask anyone else for anything unless i really trust them.
I'm usually afraid to ask others for anything because: 1) I don't want to be a burden on other people, and 2) I'm afraid of being looked down upon in a condescending manner.
1.) if they feel as though you're a burden, that's their fault for not saying no 2.) if the person is condescending, why are you asking them in the first place?
Yeah, I suppose both are true.
I'll just have to keep reminding myself that's it's okay to ask if I really do need something, without feeling that I'm being selfish or whatnot.
Nah, I didn't say that; I just listed potential reasons why someone would be dissuaded from asking for help.so wait, I'm a bad person, because I ask?

Nah, many of the things I listed are unhealthy motivations for not wanting to ask for things. Getting over those gives you room to ask for what you need. It's not a weakness.Oh, this thread is making me feel guilty for having no problems with asking for things. I probably shouldn't have made it

Pretty much.so I'm better than everyone else? I like you
I don't ask for everything, like i don't ask for things that would put others in a bad situation, and it's not constant only when I really want/need something.Pretty much.
I've gotta say that I'm personally inclined not to ask for help. Some reasons are legit, some out of fear; I should work to overcome the latter.
My sister, on the other hand, is irresponsible and has a huge need to be coddled. That's bad news.
