This echoes very familiar feelings of my own. I'm absolutely terrible at asking for anything. I, too, have to learn that it is okay to persue things for myself, either in the workplace or in my social/family life. I think the reason for this is because I am fairly easygoing so I can get by on what I am given, but there is also a less healthy part of me that feels not only like I don't need more but that I don't deserve more.
