Quenstions 

What kinds of favors do you normally ask for from your friends?

I typically try not to ask for help unless it’s absolutely necessary. But sometimes I needed it. For instance, when I need to move to a new place, I definitely need some extra hands, so I ask my friends to help me out.

 

What's the biggest favor you've asked from someone?

As I said before, the biggest favor I've asked for was probably when I needed help moving into a new apartment like involving packing, heavy lifting, and organizing.

 

How can you say no to a friend asking for a favor?

I generally don't like to refuse favors that I can manage. But when it comes to money-related requests, it's really tough. However, for the sake of our friendship, I just give within what I can afford. This approach helps maintain our relationship without putting undue strain on it.
