Did you ever ask someone not to give up on you ? I once said this to a Professor and he just couldent be bothered.

Anytime I have heard that saying in my lifetime it was taking in the context of the person was asking for pity or it was being said on someones death bed in the movies (very cliche). |

Yeah, that.

I have asked once in my life. I'd never felt so completely stripped of everything. I was turned away. Life, eh?

But seeing as how I'm going through one pf my nasty cycles it's good to kinda-sorta-not-really ask them. Especially my mom, she bears the brunt of most of it.

Your answer gives the impression that there is something wrong with trusting someone enough to ask that from them.

| | | | To ask for a chance is not the same thing of asking for pity at all. When the person pitys you, its because you actually gave up.
