    I earn what I want whether I have to ask for it or not. That's all that matters to me.

    No, I get the things I want.

    Who is there to ask?

    Right. I tend to be more of a grabber.

    that's a pity. a good, manly roar feels great and is useful for when you're in the wilderness, fending off wild animals.

    I guess I should explain more.

    I was thinking of favors, when you need help from someone to do certain things
    Or things like "I want to spend more time with you", etc...

    I feel very uncomfortable asking for things, it doesnt matter who it is and how close the person is to me. I always end up feeling like it's wrong to ask, because if something is not a certain way in the first place, then why bother asking?
    Favors, I can do anything for anyone and help them in anyway, but again when it's me who needs to ask for anything I feel so bad about doing so.

    Don't feel bad about it Aura.

    If you tell someone else what'cha need, you'll often get it. If you don't you'll sit around and you might feel taken advantage of. It is much better to be very clear to people about what you need. Trust me.

    'course i ask, if it's something you have to ask for. don't know any better way to get it.

    otherwise, in my experience, i have to get it myself.

    I'm more of a cave man than a lion.... I scratch and grunt and strike things with heavy blunt objects....

    Not my balls... perverts.

    I hate having to ask for things. I usually only ask for help when I have no other alternative. But I work for everything I have.

    i used to be like that... then i got into management. so now i still can't ask for things; i just demand them, at work at least. it's carried over to the real world somewhat, but not entirely

    yea, i ask..

    i ask a lot. more in private than out in the open. just pulling the person aside makes it much easier for me

    I know, it's something I've been trying to correct about myself since ever. It's not as bad as it used to be, but it still takes a LONG time before I can say the things that are on my mind.
    Thanks Spencer, you seemed to understand perfectly :)
