On being a burden

It is one of the feelings I struggle with most. I often feel that if I express a need, or make a request of someone that I'm being a burden.

Funny how I don't feel the same in reverse. I don't think of my friends (except for 1) and loves as burdens.

But, I absolutely cannot ask for something for myself without feeling like 1.) I don't deserve it 2.) that I'm being burdensome 3.) that I don't deserve it ... oh wait, I said that twice.

Selp help books and guru's say that you should take time to express your desires, your wants, and needs. That everyone needs something that is there own in the world.

Why does it seem so impossible for me to do that? And yet, I can give others that for themselves.
