I ask you

[cjsmith]

I hate asking people for things beyond the basic “hey could you hand me that” kind of thing. I knew this. I’m reminded it’s still true. I’m almost pathologically … no. I am absolutely, pathologically resistant to asking anyone to change a behavior in order to make my life easier or happier.

It has come to my attention that this can actually damage relationships.

Sigh.

Augh. That is super difficult. I'm sorry.

Thanks. It’s not going to get better until trust improves (see the labelleizzy thread) so I/we may just have to accept the ill effects. Which is sad.

Time to dust off the Buddhist philosophy.
