I have trouble asking for things I want/need

Jamesmac

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.

  • I have trouble with this too.

    I heard something once about how you should think about how people usually find it rewarding to help others. We often feel disproportionately guilty for putting them out, while they think little of it, or are pleased to have been the person you chose to ask, or glad to have done something helpful. Though I appreciate people are not always so accommodating
