Asking for Too Much Help?
There is something called too much help. This is significantly exploited by the female population of this world.
Sometimes when a friend asks for your help in doing something, you help them out but when it gets out of hand and becomes a burden it can no longer be classified as a favor or help.
Recently I helped this friend to do some research for her college assignment and I agreed because she was, at the time, flooded with assignments. We were studied 2 completely different degrees, so much so that I really didn't know all that she asked me to research.
I told her that I wouldn't be much of help since I didn't know anything about the subject matter and wouldn't be able to know if what I found would be useful or not. But of course, she insisted that it would be fine.
So I did a somewhat decent amount of research and gave her some links which might have been useful.
A few days later she says she's in a fix and that she is desperate for help. This time she wants me to basically do the whole assignment.
If any girl is reading this, please, please remember that you should never do this.
I mean, it's okay for you to ask for help in your assignment/school work, but ask for help from a person who is studying the same thing as you because then it would not be a burden for them. It wouldn't be going out of their way otherwise, it would be like making a monkey do the job of a mule. It's futile. Us guys don't want to be mean, so we actually do this not knowing if what we find is relevant.
Besides it's far better for you to ask help from a person who is familiar with the subject matter than from a person who has no clue about it, otherwise you would most probably fail the assignment.
