This applies to just about any time I want to ask someone for something, that my mere presence, much less my audacity in asking, will annoy and irritate the other person. Thus, even if they might actually be for it if I do ask, all I can see or hear is a big, fat NO.

Fun Fact: This isn't the [Censored!] squirrel (she's a gray). This is the squirrel from "Cookie Bank" and "Banged Squirrel", and she represents a concept rather than a real person.
Unfun Fact: If a woman has ever expressed an interest in stork summonings with me, they've never mentioned it in a way I could pick up on. I refuse to ask not just because of the above anxiety, but because I don't want to disrespect and anger them.

Yeah, this... I'm having troubles with this as well. Got me into the mentality of doing everything on my own which has its perks but at the same time isn't viable for many things.
