I have trouble asking for things I want/need

Whenever I try to bring something up regarding personal requests, I always feel really ashamed or guilty, and it makes it really hard for me to get the help I need for various things.

  • Yeah, I feel that. 

    When I was younger, I couldn't even get food at a BBQ once as I overthink everything, the asking, the guilt, the not knowing what the reaction would be. It's very complicated, and just roll around your head and you don't do anything.

    I can get things for my kids no bother, but myself, that's really hard.
