Is it pride? It's just not wanting to be thrust into a role not of your own choosing. If i want something, i will ask you - i love you and i know you love me, so i know its okay to ask. But please dont do that coaxing thing - "aw, come on!"

I dont mean YOU, of course, i mean THEM. Right? But youre right, it is kinda humiliating to get that last minute phone call "hey you can come here if you got no place else to go. Youre still family." Thanks. But ive made my bed and im lying in it.
