I have a friend who would always text me whenever she needs something.

People who love you will love helping you when you truly need it.

People who don't love you, will always be there to 'milk the cow". That's the expression we use to describe this. Honestly not calling you a cow. We just call those kind of peeps[i] Halaben. Milkers. [/i] Okay this advice is turning to an awkward monologue

The thing is, those Halaben will suck the life out of you, keeping you behind and kicking to the side the minute you have nothing to give anymore.

Better cut them loose.

Well you have a point.. I used to hate asking for help, for the same reasons.. but what I learned is.. that people who ASK for help often get help, and unless they do it all the time and too much, generally speaking most people like helping others..

When we help others we feel good.. it helps us too.. so if you turn it round the other way.. then we should ask for help, because it doesn't burden others, it helps them because people like helping!

If they are true friends they won’t mind you asking for a favour. From time to time everybody needs help or advice so don’t feel bad for asking 👍

I'm the same way. It's not a bad thing I mean if you can do it yourself then why bother other people.
