Yeah, no problem. I'm not quite sure if I just didn't phrase it well or you just misunderstood what I said. I've been doing this approach for more than half a year now and have fostered a lot of strong connections that way, but this was the first time I was met with condescension. So, yeah, I guess it just boils down to miscommunication.

That's not really the kind of support I wanted. Also, I really didn't beg for support with what I said. It's a shame it came across that way.
