I was trying to post and explain how I feel about asking for what I need, but this says it better than I could.

I never ask for what I need. I worry too much about how the other person will respond. What if they say no? What if they think I'm helpless and hopeless for having to ask? What if they get sick of me and just go away?

JM - you crack me up! (Or maybe I am already cracked.)
