A lot of us are a socially awkward bunch as well as the fact that we don't have a lot of friends in some cases, asking others for help in any way, might be hard for us. This can be to go somewhere, borrow something, or even asking people to do something as a social activity. And I think I should note that I mean meeting up with actual people and all, not neccesarily online only friends (since I personally found that asking for stuff through forums or IM is way easier).
My aspie friend has a lot of issues of asking for stuff, so him asking if he can join me in going somewhere actually is a big deal for him even. Quite often I end up asking him "wanna come along?". Similarly, my girlfriend sometimes tries to sneak it in somewhere to ask when she can come over, since she feels a bit weird for asking it like that, so she told. That lead me to tell/ask her it more often then waiting for her to ask. Guess that makes me, in some way less awkward to ask for things.
How do you handle it? Do you feel awkward asking for things? Do you ask things because you feel that it's normal to ask for stuff?
