Hi, did you not read the very first post? The one that mentions that a lot of people have issues saying no, and that it’s very difficult to deal with the anxiety that arises from others asking things of them, uninvited? Apparently not. It took me several years to learn this skill (because saying no isn’t something everyone teaches you when you’re young) and I live with someone who feels anxiety all day if he has to confront someone to turn down something they ask of him.

It’s incredibly shitty to ignore that people like this exist.  It was a plea to please not ask artists for requests unless they, you know, say they take them. Please learn to read.
