While I never had any problems asking
favours from friends, I have always been restricted when it involves
others. For example, if any friend of mine would offer me to
introduce me one of his/hers friends to help me out with something, I
have never really been comfortable accepting it. Likewise, I never
liked when someone asked me to get someone I know to do something.
The reason for that, is just that I
tend to think that by doing any of such things, I will bother that
person. I mean, of course that if you don't want to do a favour you
are asked, you can always just deny, but there is also the
possibility that you are just too polite to do so. What I mean is, by
over thinking, I end up finding reasons not to rely on others. But
the thing is, many times those 'others' want to be relied upon, and
will actually be glad to talk with someone. And when they actually
are annoyed, they will probably either just tell you directly, ignore
you or make some excuse; and in these cases, there's no real problem
involved, is there*?
Next month I'm travelling to Japan on
my own and today I decided to speak with some Japanese people I don't
really know on Facebook. Not only it was really entertaining talking
to them, they actually offered to guide me around in Tokyo.**
*Simulation:
-Hey, can you...
-No
-Ok.
No harm done.
**Music I got to know today talking to
the above-mentioned people.
