As a child you write a wish-list for Christmas in no time, when you're older it's harder to ask for things, especially because they're usually not the things someone can buy for you.
I would argue that it's even harder for most people to ask for things you can buy. Seriously. Imagine if I'd asked people to list three things that could be purchased for them...no one would do it.
In general, people are just conditioned not to ask for things, tangible or not. We're told that we must stand tall, on our own, but the flaw in that is that humans are social creatures. We clump together for a reason.
Ah, anyway. For the first, I would just point you in the direction of turlough's pinboard.
