He is also very mean a lot of the time, and I'm kind of afraid of him. I really want to ask him if I can order something online, but I'm afraid he'll get mad and say no. He's going to be home in a little bit and I want to ask him then, but I'm still kind of scared. I don't want to get rejected! What should I do!!?!??! And please don't reply saying ''just ask him'', because that is easier said than done for me.

Replies Miss Prophetess Posted at 9:33 pm on Aug. 31, 2008 *sighs* But what am I looking for?  Is it that she won't ask a friend for fear of rejection, also?  Because she said she wouldn't ask because it was "stupid".

Can you do it without him knowing it? Get a friend to do it for you and pay them for it?           I AM AFRAID OF REJECTION, NO MATTER WHAT I AM ASKING FOR, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT I WILL GET REJECTED.     And come the hell on, obviously I don't want something delivered to my house without my parents knowing.           Think outside the box.    Next time DON'T SCREAM AT PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO HELP.    How is it OBVIOUS you didn't want it sent to your house without your parents knowing? You didn't mention it, so how was it obvious?    I noticed you didn't address my "ask a friend to order it for you" advice...       Ok, are you really that fucking retarded?       It's pretty much common sense that I WANT TO ASK MY DAD AND NOT SECRETLY ORDER SOMETHING ONLINE.       No I'm not going to ask a fucking friend to do something stupid like that.         Why is it stupid? If they do it for you, then you'll be getting what you want, AND you won't have to ask your father.   Really, it's a good solution.    Not everyone has friends that will do every little thing for them. And not everyone has a Brady Bunch family. You could have said from the start that you didn't have a friend who would do it for you, right when I suggested it. And I didn't infer that I thought everyone had a "Brady Bunch family", what did I say to make you think otherwise?

That is a HUGE DIFFERENCE. Very true.  Please calm down, it is, after all, just the Internet. :) What I said was "it's a small start".  Really, it is!  If you're able to voice yourself on here, you can work your way up!  Unless you think it's impossible, which would mean you're defeated already.
