What a friend

I've never liked asking for things; it makes me feel awkward, and needy. So the other day as I wrote a quick letter to a friend, I admitted that I felt weird, due to the fact that I was making a request.
My friend's loving response was:

"Don't feel weird...it must be hard enough to simply look weird or be weird, so don't waste the time feeling that way as well. :-D "
