I was surprised at first but when I thought about it some more it made sense 😄

Thank you! This was helpful, and I added context to the post as well. This is indeed help from friends. I’ll have to try thinking of it as a favor and see what that does to how likely I am to ask!

This is amazing, thank you! I particularly appreciated this quote:

people want to help, but they can’t help if they don’t know someone is suffering or struggling, or what the other person needs and how to help effectively, or whether it is their place to help – perhaps they want to respect others’ privacy or agency. A direct request can remove those uncertainties, such that asking for help enables kindness and unlocks opportunities for positive social connections. It can also create emotional closeness when you realize someone trusts you enough to share their vulnerabilities, and by working together toward a shared goal.

It’s hard to keep this in mind, I think. I think I face too much fear of rejection and that stops me from taking an action like this that could ultimately do the exact opposite. Fascinating!

Want to help me make a Blahaj too? Use these template settings:

If you select in UI settings “Add numbers to palette entries”, I’m using colors 0, 4, and 18, but if you have better ideas that’s awesome

Yay! I like making a big one in the middle for visibility, but more is more!

Yeahhhh I get the joke but I wish the meme didn’t do it in a racist way. Why is the TCP baby white and the UDP baby not?
