Permission is a big reason I don't ask for things. It can be very hard to tell if you have permission. I try to err on the side of caution and still screw up.
It hurts to fail, too. Is the risk worth the potential reward?
Actually, it does hurt. It does hurt to ask the wrong way, to ask without preparation, to ask without permission. It hurts because you never get another chance to ask right.
