I see a lot of my little sister in this response. I always asked for items, like a cabbage patch doll, keds shoes or Care Bear and when my mom got me it and it wasnt the specific one I wanted I would feel let down. Then after feeling let down I would feel like a selfish, ungrateful twit. Perfect timing for me reading this. My husband and I decided tonight he will buy me an engagement ring because I bought the first one. It’s bothered me since. We both looked online and although I was specific with the stone and cut, it will still be nice that he actually buys it. Specific, but not too specific.

A lot of us share your hesitation. I always think it will be rude to say something that I want, like I’m putting in my order or something. Nice post :)

I don’t like asking for things either, and really I’m in a position where if I need anything I can go and get it for myself, so I usually find some small token thing that I’d like but can’t find the time or energy to buy for myself and make that my want. And that’s why I’m wearing brand new winter pyjamas right now.

A beautiful job answering your question. You don’t have to be cute to tell a good story, I enjoyed reading this immensely.

It’s so easy to say “I’m not good at asking for what I want” but few people really think about why. I think a lot of us feel guity asking for anything because we are aware that we have so much. But I think your second reason is really important as well- we fear not getting it and feeling disappointed or awkward. I definitely relate to that one. If we keep our desires hidden away, we can avoid disappointment. This is true. But I feel like as the numbers on MY cake grow and grow (Going to hit 39 this September) I am slowly learning that NOT asking creates another disappointment- the disappointment that comes from knowing I never had a chance of getting what I wanted because I never took the risk.

Wishing you helathy and happiness and love and joy and most of all the excitement and beautiful anticipation that comes from taking a leap of faith;)

And I’m always praying for good health, happiness and safety for my family, my friends and myself. Great post!

It’s hard for me to ask for anything, because I get a guilty feeling, like I’m taking something away from my kids.

But something about that changed when I hit 45. Now, I can tell you the item, the store, and when it goes on sale. LOL. Great post and great to meet you!!

I am the same way I wish for my family, health and happiness as well. I am always putting my families needs before my own all the time. Now I just want my son and hubby to make me a craft activity, that’s all I want.

Glad I joined this group and got to meet so many new bloggers.

Yours was thoughtful and heartfelt. The more of yourself you reveal, the more I respect the person you are.
