@RickiTarr I don’t think it’s as much an age thing as it is a gendered thing in terms of how many women are socialized. I fall into this pattern myself sometimes. My spouse gets annoyed and just tells me to ask for what I want. I’m not doing it on purpose, but I was raised to make myself smaller and to prioritize everyone else over myself. It feels wrong for people to do things my way or for me. I feel guilty even if I know it’s not an imposition.
