A little bit of help is a really good thing

I was always a very hard thing to accept. My "no" offended many people and lost a lot of possible friends since that's a good way to get to know others. After this situation I know I am starting from wayyyy behind the 8 ball. I know at first if I went to get anywhere I must accept a hand or two. I am determined to change my mindset a bit and be careful not too get to used to it. I will find a happy medium.
