Raising Support or asking people for money comes easy to some and extremely difficult for others. I fall into the latter category. Even through I'm an "extrovert" by definition the shyness of an introvert boils to the top. Where does this come from? Is it derived from past experiences seeing families give to a dark bottomless pot and hurt and pain it has produced. Or is it that I'm just shy and I don't want to ask? Maybe it is the desire to not place the burdens of my assignment on someone else. I believe it is the latter. For that I struggle to ask for support.
