“I have a request. Would you be able to help?”

If you say this to someone who truly cares, they will state how they can help or how they won’t be able to. Basically, they care.

If you say this to someone who only thinks for themselves, they will rob you of your request, raise a point you didn’t even ask for, and make an attempt to make you feel bad for something neither of you did. Basically, they care to show they don’t care.

Most of us expend our efforts and energy to explain our eulogy to eccentrics who will never ease out.

Chill.

I’d rather have a non-resistant approach towards people who are filled with resistance, and spend my time and effort with people who care.

People who don’t care think people will care about them once they show to others they don’t care.

Life hardly happens like that. It is mostly giving, and rarely requesting – in almost every healthy relationship. Be that healthy person. Good relationships will come to you.
