      Nah, it’s fine to ask for help. I’ve helped several folks move, mostly trans discord acquaintances moving to less hostile states. I’m happy to help crowd fund a move. I’ll even help pack or clean the old place if needed. I just won’t carry heavy stuff up and down stairs.

      Sure they do. Friends can and should ask their friends for help when they need it. There shouldn’t be guilt or coercion involved, of course, and in a healthy friendship it should be a two way street, but part of friendship is helping your friends when they need help. I like helping my friends move, when I can. It’s a chore but it’s also a good excuse to hang out with a friend :)

      I hope my friends don’t feel guilty about asking me for help. I mean, I know that I often feel guilty about asking them so I get it, but we shouldn’t because that’s what friends are for, right? I got their backs, ya know?
