I never did ask for things if I thought the answer would be no. I still don't. This is one reason why it's so hard to submit my writing anywhere - the rejections, no matter how nice, make me feel physically ill. But I think that reading as much fiction as I did growing up really helped me with putting myself in others' place and figuring out why people do things. I think now (at age 31) I'm finally really getting a grasp on how to relate to people.
