Scared to ask


Question Posted Tuesday May 9 2006, 4:14 pm

Alison Marie- it's Triple G. Please don't delete this, since you did that with a good amount of my stories. i can understand, those were pointless. But I'm always reluctant to ask people for favors. I feel that I'm using them. But I like to help others. I also feel bad about using other people's things, especially if the object is new. Is this normal? I decided, and I really put some thought into it, that I'll rate a 4.5

!@#$%Thanks!@#$%

If you ask someone for a favour and they agree to it, then they've made the choice to do something nice for you. They have every right to say 'no' if they feel uncomfortable or like they are being used.

Essentially, you aren't responsible for their choices. So if you feel guilty about people doing things for you, it might help to realize they are doing it because they WANT to and have agreed to. After all, you like helping people - why assume others might not be the same way?

If you feel really uncomfortable about borrowing things, especially new ones, then perhaps you can just decide not to borrow them. Either that, or stretch yourself and ask to borrow it - and then enjoy it!
